Guess John is right…
“One Tuisku, named “Sokeri-Sirkku” (TU-178) is preserved and on display at the air museum in Vantaa. The fuselage of TU-169 is preserved in the museum’s storage facilities.”

Looks like a VL Tuisku to me.

It’s a Grumman F7F Tigercat, beyond that I don’t know which particular example it is.
Edit, possibly F7F-3P 80425 4 JC/NX909TC, owned by Avstar at Seattle, but I wouldn’t want to bet my wages on it!
