Re: Finnish-marked British planes?
Hi guys
I have seen - as I expect many others have - a photo of a Finnish Blenheim marked with the swastika on a white background IIRC. Somewhere I have a list of the British pilots who ferried the first six (?) Blenheims to Finland, should anyone be interested. Cheers Brian

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
