Hi Graham,

Thanks for that information it is most helpful.

Cheers,

Daniel.

As you suspect, that should be May-July 1935.
1 ASU 19.5.35.
PD 7.11.35
AD Hinaidi 30.1.36 as reserve for 30 Sq
AD Aboukir 7.4.38 for 6 Sq, later coded ZD.C
237 sq 22.4.40
destroyed Goz Regeb 12.12.40 as above.

Thanks Wieesso,

I am aware of those pictures as captured by the American Colony (Jerusalem) Photo Department, what I am trying to ultimately nail down is when they were taken. So I am interested in when K4308 was delivered to 6 Squadron RAF and when it left 6 Sqn.

I would also argue that Tenente Mario Visintini is just one of three Regio Aeronautica pilots from 412a Squadriglia who can lay claim to the destruction of K4308 at Gaz Regeb, Sudan during the 12th of December 1940 along with three other Hardy aircraft of ‘B’ Flight, 237 Squadron at the time. The other pilots were Capitano Antonio Raffi and Tenente Cacciavillani all of whom were flying Fiat CR.42 Falco aircraft.

Cheers,

Daniel.

Thanks Ian,

That’s interesting, I thought that this aircraft was extant with 6 Squadron during 1938 and was with 30 Squadron before that. Yet it is listed as being delivered between May and July 1940?

Cheers,

Daniel.

One of 16 Hawker Hardy 1s delivered by Gloster Aircraft Between May and
