Vantaa Aviation Museum, Helsinki

[Spaceowl]

Here are a few photos from Finland's second aircraft museum at Helsink Airport, taken while I was on holiday over there a few weeks ago (Photographer: Paul Sandbrook)


Mig-21Bis gate guardian. Colours are substantially faded from in-service times.


Mig-21F-13, Gnat F.1, Magister


First hall interior. Lots of interesting things and gliders.


Polikarpov UT-4 trainer, rumoured to be the last one in existance (although there may be one at Monino - confirm, Novokits?)




Two pictures of the Draken, me added for scale.

Mi-4 Hound in the colours of the ASR squadron.


Big (Action Man scale) Brewster B-239 model


The remains of an Me-109G6 raised from the seabed off Helsinki a few years ago. It crashed shortly post-war.


Mi-8 Hip modified with a Finnish surface search radar, also in the colour of the ASR squadron.
