…during WW2, many types of aircraft of the Royal Air Force were captured and tested by the Luftwaffe. The following link shows a collection of photos, some well known and others rare, these aircraft, bearing German markings:

I am pretty sure the Gladiators sixth picture down were actually Latvian at the time the photo was taken. 26 Mk1's were delivered between Aug & Nov 37.
They may have been captured/aquired later when the Germans liberated (!!!!!) them from the Russians in 1941.

Someone has modelled this very aircraft it seems. latvianaviation.com/en/index.php?content/Models.ssi
