beautiful 'RP.61' Reporter artwork Logan, a really detailed and plausible backstory too, 'whatiffing' at its best, it certainly would have been a sight to see tearing round the air racing pylons :)
whilst checking through various Finnish references, i have found yet another participant to the 'Midsummer Air Races' at Utti, this one a VL. Pyry trainer (artwork by Pentti Manninen), with orange and white added to the standard scheme for the type.
I am unsure wither the aircraft depicted took part in the actual races themselves, one possibility being an entry from each squadron ? (eg. Me.109G (MT-508) coded 'B' was from HLeLV.31, whilst Me.109G (MT-402) coded 'D' was from HLeLV.33 !) or the possibility it was used as a 'pacer' or 'umpire' aircraft (the Pyry seemingly carrying added markings overall whilst the Messerschmitt's appear to have their 'racing colours' on the port side and corresponding upper wing ! presumably implying an anti clockwise course route ?)
cheers, Joe
