That picture really shows how unsophisticated the structure of the AP-1 was, all the profiles make it look like it was a much more modern construction than it actually was. Great picture. I always wondered why the Italians replaced it with the mediocre Breda 65. I see why now!
Thou it was mostly BR, 20's and CR. 42's. I believe they sent 5 to 10 Cant Z 1007's for Recon duties.I thought the Italians only brought one Cant Z 1007 to "aid" the luftwaffe.
A captured Italian Fiat CR.42 Falco (RAF serial BT474) of the RAF Air Fighting Development Unit, parked in a dispersal at Duxford, Cambridgeshire (UK). The aircraft was salvaged following a forced landing at Orfordness, Suffolk, on 11 November 1940, and was kept by the AFDU through the war. It is preserved and displayed at the Royal Air Force Museum Hendon, as MM5701 '13-95'.
