Re: Okkajärvi + Kutajärvi
All the aircraft I mentioned were strictly operated and owned by Luftwaffe. Finnish Air Force had nothing to do with them. The "Finnish" GA+DO was flown by kapt (Olt) Erkki Jauri and all flights were far from Olkkajärvi in East and Southeast Finland.

When Luftwaffe left Finland in Autumn 1944, they left no Ar 196 behind.

Please note, that Luftwaffe operated above 65 degrees latitude and Finnish Air Force below it. Therefore Finnish seeplanes visited locations above that 65 degrees line only very occasionally during rescue or agent dropping operations. They had no fixed base there.
