Yes, because I suspected it being the only explanation for my not being able to get Dube and Muscida level as in the photograph without going into Russia. Draken might have wandered as far east as Kotka, but I couldn't see her venturing much further east than that.
Re: UM Flam 23 & 25: I believe you're correct. The photograph is about 2° right wing low, as can also be seen looking at the bottom of the picture. Swivelling 2° anticlockwise would bring Draken a couple of degrees further west into the Finish Waters. 60N 25E a few miles south of Helsinki might be a better estimate of position. DaveP
