I can't say for sure Paul, but there was one Soviet Hurricane that was captured and put to use by the Finns.
-
Well they didn't shoot down any Soviet Hurricanes!....
"The Hurricanes arrived too late to see action in the Winter War, but they scored 5½ air kills in the Continuation War: Four I-153 Chaikas, one SB bomber, and half a I-15bis were shot down."

Gloster Gladiators were used Paul.... The Finns used them to shoot down 45 Russian aircraft for the loss of 15 Gladiators during the Winter War.

I fear you might not see it. There is Brewster fighter in its spot now, possibly in storage like Finnish captured Russian Aerocobra P39. I wonder what else they wont display because lack of display space.

Ah, should've guessed. Sad that they have a severe lack of space and it's impossible to acquire funds for a bigger hall. I think they should remove some of the modern ones from display.
