I stumbled to a discussion about "FInnish Mosquito" in Finnish Air Force in World War II - Discussion Forum at
http://network54.com/Hide/Forum/46825.
Now check THIS out:

Finnish Mosquito....a "What if"
Fast Google search and...
http://www.kolumbus.fi/jik/lekot.htm
VL Vihuri, Finnish copy of Mosquito equipped with Daimler-Benz engines. Aerodynamically similar, structurically different, using mix of recycled German and Russian equipment.
Wow!
And those other planes in
http://www.kolumbus.fi/jik/lekot.htm
ain't too sissy either:
Estonian Spitfire, 12 ordered, none delivered before Soviet Union annexed Estonia:
Nice!
or Bristol Bulldog fighter with 20 mm cannon? FAF had actually ordered some cannons, most likely for test purposes.
Always a surprise waiting behind some corner!
Hmmmmm. Found this site:

"Finnish Air Force - Almost In Service"
Very informative and interesting. IMHO.
Ok who finds this plane and knows what it was? ;-) (Finns, shoo)

Actually that is a Finnish copy of Messerchmitt 109 G. More streamlined, more wood, same engine. Slightly slower, more agile.
Called "Pyörremyrsky".
