Finnish Fighter

This is a Hawker Hurricane marked and painted in the Finnish Air Force WWII livery. The aircraft was restored by Phillip Lawton from a Canadian built Mk XIIb.

The photo was taken over the Scania (Southern Sweden) coast on a day when the weather conditions gave this almost aquarelle like effect.

Please note that the blue swastika was a Finnish Air Force symbol at that time. So please, there is no need to bring up a Nazi discussion, which is what I have experienced frequently in the past when showing photos of this machine.
