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.

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.

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?
