Valmet L-80 TP Turbo-Vinha was a prototype for a new Finnish turboprop basic trainer aircraft. The aircraft, which carried the designation OH-VBB was destroyed in a crash in 1985, killing the test pilot Paavo Janhunen. The aircraft was a further development of the Valmet L-70 Vinka and would eventually lead to the Valmet L-90 Redigo.

The Allison turboprop engine was used in the second plane, the L-90 TP Turbo-Vinha (OH-VTM). It was destroyed during an aerieal display in Belgium The third plane of the series (OH-VTP) got the new name Redigo or RediGo (used in sales brochures).
