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]

While the FK.31's service career in Finland was undistinguished, this machine made it to Latvia and Poland on an official visit by air force commander Väinö Vuori, the short man in flying garb. 3H-33, later KO-33, has a machine gun mounting in the rear cockpit here even though the Finns really only used the FK.31 as a trainer. NVI c/n 214 is painted on the nose and tail.

Frits Koolhoven's FK 31 reconnaissance fighter was a fiasco in Finland. Eight Dutch-built machines were found to be of poor quality. The four examples built locally by VL were reportedly even worse, and not accepted by the Finnish air force. Funnily enough, 'Kolho Vene' as the type was nicknamed in Finland means something like 'clumsy boat'. Information that KO-37 was lost in a crash is incorrect according to a Finnish source.
