Hi Folks,

A taster of the next ac, another gem built by Chris Lampard, a VL Myrsky II. This is a rare Finnish built ac of WWII to late 40's era. Chris and I have been trying to get details on this, emailing various Finns, but no reply...don't you like us Finland?! lol.

Chris has done his usual superb job on the model and tex, I'm just doing the panels etc, so not long now.

Cheers

Shessi

That's a sharp looking airplane Shessi. I appreciate the effort you and Chris put into building this model for FS9/CFS2. Thank you.
 
Its a handsome looking plane. I must confess I had never heard about it until somebody mentioned it to me.

The model looks absolutely great, beautiful paint work by Chris :encouragement:

One to look forward to!

This is why I keep FS2004 installed!
I might have an article in a very old copy of Air International, I'll see if I can find it Shessi.
IIRC it was mostly wood construction but like I said, checking first!
:encouragement:
 
Beautiful aircraft! Forgive me for sounding daft, but why do their aircraft have swastika’s? Was it to confuse the Axis pilots? Thank you for the aircraft and your time. All the best, Jeremy
 
Rami,
Thanks for the thought.

Pete and JBM,
Also the Indian cultures used it as a symbol of well being as well....that's good ol' nazism spoiling it for you!

Wombat,
Yes, mostly wooden with a metal framework around the cockpit and engine.

Cheers

Actually the Finns used it first, nothing to do with Axis forces, its an ancient symbol of power that was hijacked by the Nazis.

In fact, during the war, to avoid such confusion, the Finns switched to the blue & white roundel that they still use as their national insignia today. But they still use the swastika for other purposes, like on unit insignia and so forth.

I've long believed that we should use the swastika whenever we can to take it back from the Nazis. Sadly, there are still enough Nazis around to maintain their association with the symbol, so for the time being it remains theirs.
 
lookd kind of like "the jug" but isnt sorta...never knew finaldn made aircraft but thats cool cant wait!!
 
Thank you for this excellent aircraft! The Finns of necessity were very resourceful. A later aircraft, the VL Pyörremyrsky would have been a very good fighter had the war lasted longer.
