It IS a friggin ski!  :mad:

That attachment point got my imagination running and I couldn't figure out what it actually was.

I couldn't find what aircraft used that kind of ski. The one on Blenheim looked a lot like that but the attachment point is different. I'd say it's from a bomber.

Wouldn't be much use in Holland, so yes I gathered it was a Finnish adaptation. ;)

During WW2 you were not to leave a German army base of airfield without one of these. What is it?
