I doubt markings would mask the memory ingraining fuglyness of this beast! 🙂 Edited July 28 by Boo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chief_Mouser Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Breda Ba.65. At one point I was making an Iraq map for Il-2 46 (never finished it 😢) and came across this in researching it. 3 Quote The Bell Inn, Bath.

Boba Fett Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 It is the Breda Ba.65. Finding an aircraft, even wartime combat aircraft, without this emblazoned below the cockpit was a bit of a challenge. What’s up with that? It was also displayed with at least four distinctly different national markings. Lastly, I even found an example in US Navy Stars, meatball, and tail bars. Not sure if that one was real or just a really good photoshop. Nonetheless, I find this AC (without defensive turret) really interesting with its 1930’s inverted windscreen, sliding canopy, and semi-faired rearward retracting main gear. It served with distinction in the SCW but was largely obsolete by the time it was called upon in WWII. 1 Quote Fett “I’d say we’re offering a fair deal under the circumstances.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I came across it: A really interesting sideshow in WW2. Loads of old biplanes plus Airspeed Oxfords hastily converted to carry bombs, and a few Bf110s and He111s carrying Iraqi markings but still with Luftwaffe crews.

Chief_Mouser Posted July 29 Share Posted July 29 I guessed the manufacturer but not the model (don't think I've ever seen this bird before which is very remiss of me). As I only knew half of the answer someone else can have a go. 🍻 3 Quote The Bell Inn, Bath.

So bonkers at times that they could have been French. 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
