Re: Finnish-marked British planes?

Hello!

For what it is worth.

Finland was as far as I know the first foreign customer for Blenheim. This was already couple of years before the war(s).

The first batch was manufactured in Finland. During Winter War two batches were bought from UK. During 1941-1944 additional Blenheim batches were built in Finland, some using partial Yugoslavian Ikarus-made assemblies bought from Germany.

Cheers,
Kari
