June 15-16, 2015, Ovnhallen (The Kiln) - CBS, Porcelænshaven 20, Copenhagen, Denmark
In collaboration with Copenhagen Business School, we organised our second TBLI CONFERENCE NORDIC event, addressing specifically the financial sector in Scandinavia and the UK. The program addressed topics relevant for investors and finance professionals striving to better align profits with impact - with a view across all asset classes.
This event marked the 30th TBLI CONFERENCE held since 1998.
Still quite rare in the UK. Perhaps they aren't cheap enough.
The livery with it swirling lines is good, but I would aligned the white line so that it intersected perfectly with the reversing lamp width and angle.
+++ DISCLAIMER +++
Nothing you see here is real, even though the model, the conversion or the presented background story might be based on historical facts. BEWARE!
Some background:
First opportunity for the Finnish Air Force to have a look at a MiG-15 happened on 25th January 1954, when a Soviet Air Force aircraft crashed into a forest at Rautjärvi, close to the Soviet border. The surviving pilot said later that he had lost orientation and when fuel was running out, he ejected. The wreck was quickly evaluated before a Soviet rescue troop arrived to dismantle the plane and return it to the Soviet Union. This happened after quick political negotiations to exchange it for 62 Finnish citizens arrested in the Soviet Union.
Maintaining a non-aligned status and being positioned geographically between the NATO nations and the USSR, Finland purchased military equipment from the East and the West alike. A second opportunity was during May 1954 when, in trade negotiations between Finland and the Soviet Union in Moscow, six MiG-15s were offered as part of the bilateral trade deal. A Finnish pilot was sent to make evaluation of the type. After flying a MiG-15UTI and evaluation of the fighter variant, it was found to be technically obsolete and unsuitable for the Finnish Air Force. The MiG-15UTI was also compared with the dh Vampire Trainer, which instead was selected as the first Finnish jet trainer during 1955.
The next time the MiG was on table was during 1956, when a new jet fighter type was being considered. This time the Soviet alternatives were the MiG-15bis or MiG-17. This time the Folland Gnat Mk 1 was selected. It took four years before the MiG-15 was offered again, as a trainer for MiG-19s the Soviets were trying to sell to Finland. This offer was again rejected, as the MiG-19S was found to be obsolete from both weapons and performance points of view. Following this dead end the study of western fighters, Mirage IIIC and Saab 35 Draken, was started. In this situation the Soviets changed their offer from the MiG-19 to the MiG-21F-13. As the purchase was possible to be paid with trade exchange and the MiG's performance was comparable with the Western types, the MiG was selected. Four MiG-15UTI trainer aircraft were added to the purchase as conversion trainers for the fighters - the reason was that the MiG-21 had no immediately available trainer version (the MiG-21U Mongol-A was just entering production in 1962). Agreement with the USSR was signed on 1st February 1962. Before delivery, a group of Finnish pilots and mechanics were trained in the Soviet Union in the latter half of 1962. The MiG-15UTI trainers were flown to Karelia Wing's Rissala base near Kuopio by Soviet pilots during November 1962. These planes were manufactured by Avia in Czechoslovakia and, according to manufacturing plates, these late production examples were type Avia CS-102.
Lauri Pekuri became the first Finnish pilot to fly the UTI-MiG-15 during a visit to Moscow as part of a military delegation. On 10th November 1962 the 31st Fighter Squadron (HävLv 31 Hävittäjä Lentolaivue, fighter squadron) at Kuopio-Rissala AB, which was part of the Karelian Air Wing (Karjalan Lennosto), took delivery of four Czechoslovak-built UTI-MiG-15s (Aero CS-102s). The aircraft, which were ferried amid great secrecy by Soviet pilots, were in the latest configuration, featuring the Afanasyev A-12.7 machine-gun, Bariy-M IFF and OSP-48 ILS. Interestingly, the trainers were diverted from the Soviet order but were nevertheless new aircraft, not second-hand machines.
The trainers received the tactical codes MU-1 (c/n 922221), MU-2 (c/n 822028), MU-3 (c/n 922226) and MU-4 (c/n 722375; sometimes reported in error as 722479); the MU serial prefix and the trainer's squat, tubby appearance promptly gave rise to the nickname 'Mukula' ('chubby' in Finnish). The aircraft were flown in natural metal finish. Each pilot converting to the MiG-21F-13 was given 14 flights (eight hours) in the UTI-MiG-15 before progressing to the fighter. The Midgets were also used for proficiency training. Additionally, the Air Force Flight Test Centre (Koelentuelentolaivue) at Halli AB undertook a short performance test program and used the Midgets for development work - for example, as radar targets for the Finnish Air Force's SAAB J-35S Draken fighters.
In 1968-69 the trainers underwent a major overhaul in the Soviet Union, but all other maintenance was done locally. MU-3 crashed on 27th November 1970 after running out of fuel, but the crew ejected safely. To fill the gap a fifth UTI-MiG-15 was procured, this time directly from Czechoslovakia. Since production had already ended it was a second-hand machine, a revamped Aero CS-102s (c/n 822210), a former ejection seat testbed with low flying hours, formerly operated by the Výzkumný a zkušební letecký ústav (VZLÚ, 'Czech Aerospace Research Centre') for the development of an indigenous ejection seat.
The revamped aircraft arrived in Rissala in early 1971 and received the new tactical code MU-5. This aircraft was insofar noteworthy as it became the only Finnish UTI-MiG-15 that carried camouflage. The scheme had already been applied in Czechoslovakia after a briefing from the Finnish Air Force, but the aircraft was delivered without tactical markings for the transfer flight. However, the requested paint scheme, an experimental camouflage reminiscent of the Finnish WWII scheme in green and black with grey undersides and "clouds" on the flanks that extended into the upper scheme, was executed with local paints, and following Warsaw Pact painting standards. As a result, the scheme was truthfully replicated, but the paints on the upper surfaces turned out to be rather dark. However, MU-5 was accepted with this unique livery and received large Ilmavoimat roundels in six positions (with the fuselage roundels close to the air intake), the tactical code on the flanks behind the wings, and the squadron badge (a leaping black lynx on a white cloud as background) on the fin, just below the stabilizers. Additionally, the aircraft’s callsign “Adam” was painted as a nickname and reminder for the trainees under the front cockpit opening. MU-5 retained its unique camouflage through later overhauls, even though refreshed with domestic paints that changed the upper tones into a lighter hue, and the tactical markings were changed over time, too. In the mid-Seventies the fuselage roundel on all Finnish Midgets was moved to the rear fuselage, the tactical code remained there but was reduced in size, and the lynx emblem was now painted behind the air intake, together with a single large number corresponding to the individual aircraft code.
The remaining three CS-102 veterans were kept in service until the small fleet was superseded by five MiG-21UM Mongol-Bs in 1978. These were, as an anecdotal note, delivered from the USSR in a dark camouflage very similar to MU-5 a couple of years earlier, due to the use of local paints and a rather free interpretation of the Finnish Air Force's paint scheme request! But with the arrival of the Mongols the Finnish UTI-MiG-15s’ career soon ended. MU-1 was struck off charge on 20th April 1979 and is preserved today at the Hallinportti museum just outside Halli AB. MU-2, which made its first flight in Finland on 12th January 1963 at the hands of Lt (SG) Veikko Tähtinen, was struck off charge on 30th May 1979 and is preserved at Vesivehmaa. MU-4 made its last flight from Rissala AB on 7th February 1977, piloted by Capt. Ari Piippo; it was struck off charge on 12th April 1979 and is now on display at the Central Finnish Aviation Museum (Keski-Suomen Ilmailumuseo) at Luonetjärvi airfield, Tikkakoski. MU-5, finally, was already lost on 15th of November 1977 in a ground fire that could be traced back to an oil leak in the engine section. The aircraft burned down beyond repair; since the airframe was even too damaged to become a museum exhibit it was eventually scrapped in 1979.

The kit and its assembly:
A very simple what-if aircraft model, and it was simply inspired by the question how a camouflaged Finnish UTI-MiG-15 trainer might have looked like? In real life the four aircraft were left in bare metal, only protected with clear lacquer containing aluminum powder, and relatively large markings. When I read about the aircrafts’ history in Finland I came across MU-3’s “sudden death” (most things mentioned in the background are real, just MU-5 and anything concerning this aircraft is fictional) and envisioned a fictional replacement in the early Seventies that would bear camouflage.
The Midget kit is one of the more complex Hobby Boss kits (read: more than just a fuselage plus wings and some bits to stick onto this base) like the company’s F9F or Hawker Seahawk, and for its price point the kit is IMHO pretty good and crisp. It’s still quite simple, but it features many small detail parts to be added on the airframe that yield a convincing model, including a surprisingly well detailed cockpit tub (even though it lacks a rear bulkhead and there’s an ugly gap behind the front seat), a nice landing gear and two different pairs of underwing tanks.
The only upgrades I made: the single-piece canopy was cut into four parts (with a very narrow frame between the cockpits, ugh!) for open display, and a wire antenna (heated black sprue material) was spanned between the fin tip under the dielectric fairing and its attachment point right in front of the free-standing antenna mast on the right fuselage flank, next to the cockpit.
Getting the model on its three wheels was not easy – there’s not much space in the nose, because the air intakes are fully detailed (yet feature ugly and well visible locator pins which should be sanded away) and the splitter insert also contains the front landing gear well – there’s only little space above it, and the lead beads I cramped into the area were just enough to make the model stand “upright”, even though only once the main wheels had been mounted and the separate canopies put into place! Phew!
Painting and markings:
MU-5’s paint scheme took inspiration from two sources: one is the “Hawk” scheme from the late Seventies, which was devised for the Bae Hawk trainers but already introduced with the MiG-21bis and the respective trainers that arrived 2 years earlier.
The pattern was lent from the Hawk, since it has comparable outlines with the Hawk, but the colors were rather inspired by the initial MiG-21U trainers that were directly delivered from the USSR, already painted with Soviet paints that differed markedly from what Finnish-painted aircraft with domestic paints would look like. The Mongols were delivered in a deep but reddish brown, the green was very dark, too, with little contrast and a bluish hue. And the undersides were painted in a deep turquoise blue. For an unusual look I used a mix of Humbrol 10 and 66 for the deep but dull brown, Modelmaster FS 34096 for the green, and the undersides were painted with a pale blue (ModelMaster Russian Flanker Underside Blue).
The cockpit tub’s side walls were painted in the dreaded Soviet anti-fatigue teal, with medium grey lower areas, and aluminums seats with brown cushions. The landing gear and the respective wells were painted in a greyish silver tone, with bright green wheel discs as contrast. A similarly bright green antenna fairing was added to the fin tip, and the tail rudders’ counterweights became yellow (a practice that was actually introduced on the late NMF Finnish UTI-MiG-15s).
As a contrast and a reminder of the Finnish UTI-MiG-15’s original/real livery I painted the slipper tanks to resemble natural metal finish.
The roundels came from a Finnish Gnat (Special Hobby), the HävLv 31’s Lynx emblems from a Matchbox MiG-21 kit. The tactical codes were created from single black 6 mm letters (TL Modellbau); the few other stencils were puzzled together from the scrap box. To add some color contrast, I also decided to mark the area above the flaps with 1 mm red decal strips (also generic stuff from TL Modellbau), and the wing walkways were created with 4 mm black decal strip stuff. Some dry-brushing with silver was done on the wings’ leading edges and around the cockpit for light weathering effect and to make the model look less “clean”. And finally, the model was sealed with matte acrylic varnish.
A very simple project, and a “quick” submission for a Group Build at whatifmodellers.com, following a spontaneous inspiration. The camouflage suits the tubby Midget well, though, it looks very believable, and the beauty shots also confirm the paint scheme’s effectiveness over the typical Finnish forested landscape.

Silverlake C1 Racing Series-(Race 1 Results)
(Hour 1)
With The Grid set for Racing The Lights slowly began to turn on until All Five Lights were Illuminated and then Simultaneously went out and 44 1000cc Citroen's with 44 Competitive Drivers Behind the Wheel Made their way through Paddock Hill Bend being careful to Avoid One Another while scrapping for Places.
As they Race Towards to the Top of Druids All was Good as they made their way Down towards Graham Hill Bend and onto the Cooper Straight. So Far so Good and All The Citroens came Round the Last Corner with Ladybird Daddy Number 506 Still Leading followed by Emax Motorsport Number 345 and JW Bird Motorsport Number In 3rd Place.
(Hour 2)
As The Second Hour Approached it was time for Some Teams to Start thinking about Pit Stop Strategy and How this Might Move them either up a Position or Down Depending Upon the Time and Driver Driving.
Many of the Teams Pulled into the Pits with Only a Few Cars Out there Still going trying to get a Head Start while the other Teams opted to Pit and Change Drivers or take on Fuel for the Rest of the Race.
11 Minutes after 2 O'clock and the Number 446 Car of Team TAC Racing has made a Trip into the Gravel Trap at the Top of Paddock Hill Bend and had to be towed Out Resulting in a Penalty for Outside Assistance.
They Re-join the Race but will be at least 2 or 3 Laps down on the Rest of the Field for this Costly Mistake.
(Hour 3 The Final Hour)
As 3 O'clock Approached the Headlights of Most Drivers began To Turn On as The Light Around the Circuit began to get even Darker Meaning the Race was Entering its Night Stage.
With Some Drivers being Good in the Day and other being Good in the Night it was Anybody's Race Still as All 44 Cars Continued to Race around the Indy Circuit Lady Bird Daddy was Still in the Lead and Creating a Sizable Gap at The Front of the Pack as they Continued on into the Darkness of Night.
As the Race Continued into the Last Hour a Loud Crash was Heard from the Bottom of Paddock Hill Bend with the Number 320 Car of M Barrand and S Barrand was seen Rolling after a Slide while coming out of Paddock Hill Bend The Marshalls Raced in and Managed to get the Car Right Side Up as the Citroen had Flipped Over onto its Roof during the Crash, Thankfully the Driver Escaped with No Injuries.
As The Race Reached its Conclusion Lets take a Look at the Final Results and see who Won The 3 Hour Endurance Race for Silverlake C1's.
In First Place After Securing Pole During Qualifying and taking a Very Dominant Victory was (Team Lady Bird Daddy's Patrick Watt's/ Aimee Watt's/Orlando Linsey) Congratulations Everybody Some Fantastic Driving and a Well Deserved Win after such a Heroic Drive Thought the 3 Hours.
In Second Place After Taking on the Indy Circuit and Starting P4 was (Team Quattro Formaggio's Alistair May and Chris Parkes) A Phenomenal Drive by Both Drivers Each Working Hard to Keep the Car in a Competitive Spot thought the Entire 3 Hour Race.

Sacramento, California is one of the largest agricultural producer in the nation. One of my favorite things to do after work is to drive around the farms near home. After taking many twists and turns in between the narrow roads and sometimes I end up driving on gravel roads and not knowing where I am is what I love about our massive farmlands. Like this scene, that made me stop and capture the beautiful starlings on this farming agriculture structure.

I am thinking it's a sign that the freckles
In our eyes are mirror images and when
We kiss they're perfectly aligned
And I have to speculate that God himself
Did make us into corresponding shapes like
Puzzle pieces from the clay
True, it may seem like a stretch, but
Its thoughts like this that catch my troubled Head
when you're away when I am missing you to death
When you are out there on the road for
Several weeks of shows and when you scan
The radio, I hope this song will guide you home
They will see us waving from such great
Heights, 'come down now,' they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away,
'come down now,' but we'll stay...
I tried my best to leave this all on your
Machine but the persistent beat it sounded
Thin upon listening
That frankly will not fly. you will hear
The shrillest highs and lowest lows with
The windows down when this is guiding you home
