Hello, today I'm on a search for the Finnish ( I know, another Finnish aircraft) Messerschmitt MT-410. Any response would be apperciated, Thanks!

I beleive that the MT-410 in Ilmavoimat service was a Morraine Soulner design, not a Messerscmitt; anteeksi/sorry for any wrong spellings.

But as to weather they had a Me410 (or 210), I doubt it unless the Northern Norway/Finnish Lapland based Airflotte had one on/to hand.
I'm too intruged to find what was/if... could any Soumalainen's or other knowledgable members help us?

The Bf 109G in Finnish service wore fuselage codes prefixed "MT"; MT-410 is an individual Bf 109G-6. For example, the highest scoring Finnish ace was Ilmari Juutilainen who flew Bf 109G-6s MT-426 and MT-457 (and Bf 109G-2s MT-212 and MT-222). That's all I got.

Rats! Any info on who flew it?

 

[razor1uk]

Possibly more than a few pilots depending on mission sortie rates tactical exigencies...
