Default Swastika symbol

Hi all. Following on from my diversion of Quicksilver's query re the RAF activities on the NW Frontier of India : I mentioned in passing the swastika symbol on the RAF DH9A aircraft shown,also the fact that the Finnish and Latvian Air Forces both employed the swastika prior to WW2 :
Can I ask members, are these two badges shown here still current with the Finnish and Latvian Air Forces ?
I believe the swastika markings on their aircraft were discarded in 1940 (for Latvia) and 1945 (for Finland). Did this also apply to these badges ?
