This is the only remaining Gloster Gauntlet and flew previously with the RAF as K5271. When the Winter War broke out in 1939, Finland began looking for war material from any available sources. The Federal Government of South Africa donated 29 aircraft, 24 of which were brought to Finland. The Gauntlet was retired 1945 and this is the only surviving example.
