I'm sad to hear(from video) that fuselage was already a bit damaged in some phase of wreck transportation. Also, guy there tells that the dooming hit was into an oil pipe.
Brewsters were ordered, and finalized in Sweden but did not participate to Winter War. Finnish front line equipment remained Fokker D.XXI, Gloster Gladiators and Blenheim MkI. Brewsters got into front line in Continuation War.
