Photo Comment

This Beaver was delivered to the Rajavartiostojen Esikunta (Finnish Border Guard Headquarters) at Helsinki in June 1955 and went on to be based at Roveniemi and then Turku before it was retired in November 1988. The plane was displayed in various museums around Finland but has now found a permant home in the very interesting Maritime Centre Vellamo.
