The British didn't like the Chesapeake. On testing it was found that it was underpowered, had below-average performance and poor handling characteristics and its take-off run was considered overly long, which negated its use aboard British carriers. The intake on the right hand side of the nose ahead of the cockpit interfered with the view forward during taxiing and landing. Its only virtue, the British thought, was its 1,170-mile range. This might be AL213 (one digit out?) that underwent official trials at Boscombe Down after the first example evaluated, AL909 suffered an accident.

This seems to be a picture of a French V-156F damaged and captured by the Italians (if I identify the uniforms correctly). The V-156F were engaged both against the Germans (Northern front) and the Italians (Southern front), but did not fare much better than one would expect from their near-obsolete status.
