The wooden high-wing four-seat Finnish Kurki was designed at the State Aircraft Factory in 1926 and its maiden flight was on March 20th 1927. It was designed as a civilian group-training, passenger and mailplane. Its nickname was "Järvinens box". Test flights were flown in 1927, but the design did not prove workable. The aircraft is conserved. The engine is missing. [Nikon D750 + Tamron SP 24-70mm/2,8G VC] This photo is copyright © Juhani Sipilä, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
