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.

At the end of the 1950s, Finland purchased 18 Magisters from France, also obtaining a manufacturing license. The Finnish manufacturer Valmet later built 62 Magisters, finishing in 1967. The aircraft had a secondary attack role in the event of war, but limited by agreements with the Soviet Union. Also dominating this photo is the last remaining example of a Finnish IL-28 bomber, NH-4. Four of these were used for target towing, maritime reconnaissance and patrolling as well as aerial mapping until 1981.

A rare machine indeed, the last surviving example of the Vihuri trainer, of which 51 were built by Valmet in Finland between 1951 and 1959. A large number of accidents led to government intervention and grounding in May 1959, but it was later determined that pilot violations of flight regulations were mainly to blame. Interestingly, the engines were rebuilt Mercurys from Blenheim bombers. This example accumulated 802 flying hours, after which it served as a ground instructional frame at the Air Force Academy in Kauhava.
