11-11-1940 Monday raid over the UK code name Cinzano' - a bombing raid on Harwich by ten Fiat BR. 20s escorted by 40 Fiat CR.42s ( 95-13 )and G.50s and a diversionary attack on London by the five Canz Z. 1007 bombers in concert with the Luftwaffe.

Note: The youtube clip is racist towards the Italians. At this time in 1940 one can understand.
Note FalkeEins did a niece piece of this raid, see sources.

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!

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'.
