A rare machine indeed, the last surviving example of the Vihuri trainer, of which 51 were built by Valmet in Finland between 1951 and 1959. A large number of accidents led to government intervention and grounding in May 1959, but it was later determined that pilot violations of flight regulations were mainly to blame. Interestingly, the engines were rebuilt Mercurys from Blenheim bombers. This example accumulated 802 flying hours, after which it served as a ground instructional frame at the Air Force Academy in Kauhava.
