Nice looking aircraft. I read a quote about the D.520 once, from an unnamed French pilot; " That little she-devil is never to be trusted until she is in the hangar."

#46 and 47 are interesting to see as they were taken in North Africa. The initial identifier for Vichy French aircraft was a narrow white ring around the roundel and a horizontal white stripe running along the centre axis of the roundel and sometimes culminating in an arrow at the nose. These varied in thickness and length on different aircraft and can also be seen on the Farman F.220 bomber in the background of #46. The first aircraft in both pictures have a bright yellow tail section, introduced in May 1941, to which was added red horizontal stripes and the same yellow/red markings to the noses of fighters and engine cowls of multi-engined aircraft a month later. The aircraft are of Groupe de Chasse III/6 and in the second photo, the unit's tribal mask insignia is visible on the vert stab. The notable French ace Sous-Lt Pierre Le Gloan flew with this unit at this time.

I can only imagine that would be a stomach churning position in a pitching flight.

Could it be this one, N° 167, from other side?
