Hello again,
VL Myrsky II coded My-5 was the very first fighter from II series. It was finished from the factory in December 1943. The State Aircraft Factory used this plain mainly for testing the structure and for general development during the spring and the summer 1944.
Here the fighter is in Tampere Harmala airfield Finland in May 1944, just 70 years ago!! Some weeks later the Soviet massive counter attack started in Karelian Isthmus. The tests were hurried and My-5 and My-6 fighters flew test flights from morning till evening by two pilots.
On the 23rd of April 2014 the Finnish company called Patria ltd became the main financial supporter in the Myrsky project. Patria is a trusted provider of defence, security and aviation life-cycle support services and technology solutions. On that same day some VL Myrsky II parts were shown to the audience.
