The Finnish Border Guards used three Beavers from 1951 till 1988 for border patrol, search & rescue and air ambulance missions, often on floats or skis. This one was retired to the museum in February 1988. The Finnish AF also had three Beavers, but all were lost in accidents.

In my book, the star exhibit in the Finnish Aviation Museum, preserved exactly as it was when removed from Finnair service on 30th April 1980. Delivered new to Aero OY Finnish Air Lines in May 1953 as a CV-340 and converted to 440 in 1956. Challenging in those cramped conditions to get a nice shot, but an extension monopole allowing a high overhead view off the balcony helps considerably.

Over 10,000 Polikarpov I-16s were built in fighter and, like this Finnish survivor, in fighter-trainer configurations from 1934. Some remained in operation in Spain till as late as 1953. Finland's examples were captured Soviet machines from the Winter War period. This rare two-seater, the only surviving example of this variant in the world, was captured in autumn 1941 and served Le.Lv.48 and T-Le.Lv.35 before being placed in store in late 1942.

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.

When the Finnish Air Force stopped flying their MiG-21s in the late-1980s, many were preserved across the country. This one is part of an outdoor display along with an Mi-8 and Draken at the Tuulos shopping centre.

When first retired from Air Force service back in the 1980s, this Mi-8 was placed on display at the Finnish Aviation Museum at Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. It later moved to the Lahti-Vesivehmaa collection, and most recently to the Tuulos shopping centre where DC-2 DO-1 is preserved indoors.
