Lightbulb Re: What if the UK did send troops to aid Finland?
Agreed. Sending aircraft to Norway in 1940 was a disaster for the RAF - Finland would have been worse.

I also don't think that the Soviet Air Force in its 1940-form would have been in any way fit for combat against the RAF in the Battle of Britain - I think they would have provided good sport for the RAF pilots in much the same way as the Regia Aeronautica.....
