Yup. It's not widely known, but Italy did contribute to the Battle of Britain, sending almost 200 aircraft! Nice photo

Another great image from 1940- men of XX The Lancashire Fusiliers tucking in to the crew's inflight picnic. I doubt if the bottle of vino was handed in to the authorities!

The Fiat is now with the RAF Museum, it took a bullet in a fuel line and force landed. Somehow it survived the war and was until recently on display at Hendon, not sure where it is now
