107 LAA Regt RA
This is the attractive and very sought-after unit sign adopted by 107 LAA Regt RA. The Regiment was formed by the conversion of 14th Bn Royal Fusiliers on 1 Jan 42 and was disbanded on Malta on 30 Jul 44.

Today's FWAG.
Good afternoon.
Not my area at all, but FWAG, with that profile, a Macchi C202 Folgore, but somehow the tail outline just isn't quite right. Discuss. Enjoy. S.T. |

I think that it's a fusion of two aircraft which would have been seen all too frequently over Malta - Macchi 202 nose and Ju 87 Stuka tail (as has been stated) - with the star shaped burst of an AA shell superimposed. Similar imagery was used on the sign for 8 AA Div. Mike 8 AA Div.jpg |

Mike,
Possibly the most diplomatic answer I think there has ever been on the Forum. Peter
