then why did you ask about its markings, as for some history about the plane, with out being there I can tell you that it is a hybrid (as are all other 205's in existance today) made up of parts from both 202 and 205 series

Lol, pretty much what he said, Milo.

I can add that it is a C.202 Serie X, converted in 1942 by Breda to 205 standard. Sorry, but taking pictures I lagged behind the guide and, eventually, totally lost track of the group! :P

interesting Gian, I have also heard that the 202 is a "unconverted" C.205, with the usual mix of parts, is there any truth to this?

I didn't ask about the national markings.

History, such as:

What unit did it fly with?
Where was it based?
Known pilots who flew the a/c.
What missions did it fly?
