Very nice pictures ,but finish Gladiators have 2 blade propeller not 3.... :wink:

Well that is actually not true.

SWEDISH Gladiators in Volunter Unit F19 during Winter War at Salla front and Rovaniemi area, designation J8a (MKI model with MKII engine), had wooden two-bladed propellers. According to the screens here, I guess they should be J8a's.. thus with two blades.

However, FINNISH Gladiators, mainly used in LLv 26 and LLv 12 and LLv 14, later also by LLv 16 during the Continuation War, were all MKII. Of course there were MkII with Two bladed props by individual choice ( I know that a lot of British pilots preffered this one, but MKII default prop eas the Three bladed metal one.

You can clearly see the three blade prop here:



Below The Finnish Gladiator Ace Oiva Tuominen (5 kills with the Gladiator; 4 SB's and 1 I15-bis) - also with a MKII with three blades.



I would change the cammo though on those beautiful screens as they are Swedish F19 cammos, and they did indeed, as mentioned earlier, have the J8a with two blades
