This airframe was previously located within the Finnish Forestry Museum at Punkaharjo, but was seen minus wings at the Karelia Aviation Museum at Lappeenranta Airport. It is unclear if this is a permanent move or a loan. This airframe is allegedly the first civilian aircraft imported to Finland after WW2 during 1947. It then suffered a wheels-down water landing on lake Kaukopää in 1958, overturned and sank, writing off the airframe. The wreck was recovered and was stored for a period of time at Vesivehmaa (EFLA) until being moved to Punkaharjo in 2011.
