I'm going through the Suomen sodissa 1939-1945 menehtyneet sheets and came across Rudolf Gottschalk who went missing 'Englanti-Suomi'... I presume this means between the two places.
I am trying to find more information upon him. Was he visiting the UK for material or something?

According to his service records, he disappeared during the Winter War while trying to ferry Bristol Blenheim Mk. IV "BL-127" from the United Kingdom to FinlandLaurance.Robinson wrote: ↑10 Oct 2019 12:45I am trying to find more information upon him. Was he visiting the UK for material or something?

The Blenheim he was piloting probably crashed in sea somewhere between Perth and Stavanger in bad weather. Hyvönen, Kohtalokkaat lennot 1939-1944.
