Photo Comment

The serial of this MC-200 hulk appears to be unkown but please get in touch if this is incorrect. The aircraft carries two different colour schemes. The lower layer consists of a three-tone mottled camouflage and the roaring tiger insignia suggests it flew with the 86th Squadron of the 54th Wing from Regia Aeronautica. At the beginning of 1943, the aircraft passed to the 92nd Squadron of the 2nd Fighter Wing and new olive green markings, that were painted over the previous ones. Some restoration work has been carried out with new engine bracing mounts added.
