The I.V.L. C.25 should be at the Keski-Suomen Ilmailumuseo right now but for a long time it was at the Suomenlinna in a Military Museum ("Maneesi").

it is slightly off topic, but on the island fort (Suomenlinna, I think its called from memory), there is a small sub that is sitting on the beach - or at least there was when I was there three-odd years ago. You can't get into it, but you can get up close and personal with it...

Hi,
