It was a British made aircraft. I will modify the question and put in a list of aircraft, much better the way you forward the questions.

Would it be the F-86 with prototype first taking to the air on 1 October 1947?

During WWII the Finns used planes made by many countries, including those captured from the Russians, in their two wars against the Soviets. Three of the planes , listed below, were not used by the Finns operationally. Can you identify them?

1) Fokker DXXI

2) Fiat G.50

3) JU-88

4) MS-406

5) BF-109G

6) Yak-3

7) PE-2

8) I-16

9) Hurricane

10)Blenheim

11)JU-87

12)Hawk 75 ( P-36 )

13)FW-190

14)Buffalo

Have to go with the Yak 3, Ju 87 and the FW 190 being aircraft that were not used operationally by the Finns.

You are spot on with the Fairey Battle scoring the first aerial victory on 20 September 1939 on a combat patrol near Aachen. My sources show a different type aircraft brought down though. Aircraft brought down was a Bf 109, sure would make for an interesting model if someone would put out a die cast model of the Fairey Battle K9243 crewed by Flying Officer L.H. Baker and Sgt L.J. Letchford.

Yes it would be the F-86. Apparently it beat Russia's Mig-15 by roughly two months in this regard.
