Re: Were any I-16s flown in Luftwaffe markings?
About Finnish UTI-4:
In September, 8 1941 it was captured by Finns near Svir river. It was practically in flyable condition (propeller and its cowling were slightly damaged). To October, 17 the aircraft was fully repaired. It's received the code VH-22 (in November, 28 changed to UT-1).
UTI-4 served in LeLv 48, and T-LLv 35. In September,11 1942 the plane was removed from service. Its flight time to that moment was 43 h 23 min. Now it's in Helsinki museum.
