At the end of the 1950s, Finland purchased 18 Magisters from France, also obtaining a manufacturing license. The Finnish manufacturer Valmet later built 62 Magisters, finishing in 1967. The aircraft had a secondary attack role in the event of war, but limited by agreements with the Soviet Union. Also dominating this photo is the last remaining example of a Finnish IL-28 bomber, NH-4. Four of these were used for target towing, maritime reconnaissance and patrolling as well as aerial mapping until 1981.
