Finland received 13 Gnats from 1958 (nine F.1s and two FR.1s) and had intended licence building them in addition, but that did not proceed. As the first operational user of the Gnat F.1, many challenges had to be faced by the Finnish Air Force. In the harsh Scandinavian conditions, operation and maintenance was challenging, with four being lost in accidents. Once maintenance issues were overcome, it proved to be a good performer with excellent manoeuvrability, but was replaced in 1972 by the introduction of the Draken.

The extraordinary Päijät-Hämeen ilmailumuseo near Lahti, in a very dark wooden storage hangar on the former WW2 Vesivehmaa air base is a collection of extremely rare and historic items run by a volunteer organisation that saved from scrapping many significant airframes stored there in the 1960s. Blackburn Ripon IIF RI140 is the only surviving example of this inter-war torpedo bomber anywhere in the world. One of 25 built under licence by the State Aircraft Factory between 1930 and 1934, it was also used for reconnaissance, liaison and target tug work.

The wooden high-wing four-seat Finnish Kurki was designed at the State Aircraft Factory in 1926 and its maiden flight was on March 20th 1927. It was designed as a civilian group-training, passenger and mailplane. Its nickname was "Järvinens box". Test flights were flown in 1927, but the design did not prove workable.

The Finnish AF ordered 16 Aero A-32GR aircraft in 1929. 15 aircraft were delivered 1929 and 1930. The last flight of the type was 1944. The Aviation Museum Kbely in Czech Republic has a Aero A-32 but the aircraft may be a replica. Therefore Finnish A-32 is probable the sole original survivor of its type in the World. The aircraft is unrestored and engineless. [Nikon D7200 + Tokina 12-24mm/4]
