I would guess somewhat South from Murmansk and North from Louhi (Loukhi). Hannu Valtonen's book
Luftwaffen pohjoinen sivusta (in Finnish only) quite certainly has more data but is not at hand here at work. Also see:

More about P-40 in Soviet Union see this excellent article by Valeriy Romanenko:

Copy and paste the Russian URLs to translate.google.com (or somesuch) to translate if necessary.
