Although wearing Finnish contemporary markings - which had nothing to do with the Nazis - it was actually a Swedish air force unit which fought the Russians from Kemi in northern Finland during the final two months of the 1939-40 Winter War. It had twelve Gladiator fighters and four Hart light bombers with open cockpits. Swedish Harts were all powered by Mercury radial engines. Note the skis carried for use by the crew in an emergency. This airframe did not actualy serve in Finland.

The Swedish Air Force provided a first-class show at Malmen AB to celebrate the 100th anniversary of aviation in Sweden, with an excellent mix of old and new in the flying display

The two Swedish AF Sabreliners are rarely seen in public and are used for experimental MAD-type work. The extremely long parallel probes fitted at the front pose a bit of a question to photographers - whether to include or not, a bit like helicopter rotors! I shot it both ways, but this version gives a better view of the aircraft itself
