It is in Swedish markings for sure. I can't tell the type off my head and since I'm about to go to bed I can't check my books.

I think thats purely swedish one..
I just had a book and those gladiators used by swedish had that FAF swastika on them

Swedes bought Gladiators 1936/37; Propably they didn't paint any swastikas then.
What I meant was its possible that plane could be one of those they send to Finland 1939. After all there were only two squadrons in Swedish AF equipped with Gladiators.

At least those that took part in the war.. if that book had right pictures

sigh... I give up.
That plane never was in Finland, They never ever repaint swastikas in it over those "Three Crowns", it never saw action etc...

Better?
