The WWII Finnish Aircraft Database file has the complete 163 Me109 aircraft designated to Finland. However, there were 4 aircraft that never made it to Finland, leaving a total of 48 G-2s and 111 G-6s delivered to Finland. One G-2, MT-226 crashed in Germany during training and was NOT sent to Finland in 1943. Another G-2 was delivered in 1944 to replace MT-226. Two G-6s and One G-8 crashed and were not delivered: 1) MT-473 G-6 crashed in Insterberg, Germany, 2) MT-474 G-8 crashed in Riga, Latvia, and 3) MT-514 G-6 crashed in Pernauh, Estonia.
