Sorry, but no. Your previous guess was a bit more close.

Yes, I KNOW the right answer. The whole story is told in Joppe Karhunen's book (probably also in Ahti Saarinen's book).
(I just don't remember...)

Lets try this one out. Myllykoski, and when looking at the architecture of the staircase etc in the background, it looks 1920-ies, early thirties, so it could be a Suojeluskunnan talo (A house [building] of the Civil Guard). So my guess is: Myllykosken Suojeluskunnan talo (if there was a in M-koski.?)

Correct enough

Congratulations Esa .
The pic was taken at Myllykoski ( :wink:

) at the evening of 6th January 1940 , the same day he shot down the six enemy bombers (as Harri knew).
The place was Myllykoski Oy (Myllykoski paper mill) club house (not school as Joppe Karhunen writes, with the same pic at his "Talvisodan Taistelulentäjät")
The pic was from http://www.sci.fi/~fta/finace92.htm
Over to Esa.

Thanks Juha.

"You and Harri have now straddeled 'the target' "

A fast look at a map (Myllykoski is almost in the centre between Sippola and Kouvola) + a feeling that this was about local patriotism :wink:

and I had it.

New Q:

One connection between General P. Talvela and General V. P Nenonen is Carelian fir. How...?

Paavo Talvela and Vilho Petter Nenonen both lived in Kulosaari (Kulo Island) in the same house, probably built of fir. The house was built for general Nenonen by the war time artillerymen. After Nenonen's death (R.I.P) Talvela bought the house.

I will be on vacation for the next couple of weeks, so I won't be able to ask the next question if this answer is correct.

congratulations Nenonen, almost correct...

"Paavo Talvela and Vilho Petter Nenonen both lived in Kulosaari (Kulo Island) in the same house, probably built of fir. The house was built for general Nenonen by the war time artillerymen. After Nenonen's death (R.I.P) Talvela bought the house."

V. P. Nenonens house was paid and built by the Finnish artilleryman in 1943 as a gift to their General on his 60th birthday. The fir it´s built in was transported from East-carelia (so, after the war Finland had to pay for the logs) to Kulosaari. General Nenonen didn´t want to own any estate, so he donated it to the Artillery-Foundation. And they could not find any other old high ranked artillery officer to live there after V. P had passed away, so then general Talvela was offered to live there wich he did.... (Hmmm...think I made a bit boring, and bad formulated q

).

So congrats again to Nenonen who figured this out, and cause he said:

"I will be on vacation for the next couple of weeks, so I won't be able to ask the next question if this answer is correct."

I give the next turn to he/she who first gives us a new Q.

Ok !

Since I also knew the answer ( but did not memorize it ) to Nenonen / Talvela question I go:

Name all different types of amfibious aeroplanes ( also float planes ) used by FAF during WW II. Why were they important ? Do you ( we ? ) know the total amount of them ?

by **mottimatti** on 02 May 2005 13:50

Ok !

I am trying list planetypes, someboby else may count the quantity:

Beriev MBR-2
Blackburn 29 Ripon IIF
Cessna C-37
Dornier Do 22Kl
Heinkel He 59B-2
Heinkel He 115A-2
Heinkel He 115C
Høver M.F. 11
Junkers F 13
Junkers W 34fa
Shavrov Sh-2
Valtion Lentokonetehdas 29 Ripon IIF
Valtion Lentokonetehdas Sääski II

Main purpose ( Take a look to Map of Finland - lakes, lakes, lakes ... ) during War was
transportation, f.e. Long Distance Patrols ( EP 4 ) and evaquation of wounded personnell.

Close ...
