Correct, GJ52! (Just a minor nitpick: the correct designation is FL.3 ;) )

The example in the picture was manifactured in 1941, it still has its original CNA D.4 60hp engine. The owner (a former Italian Air Force fighter pilot) has another "warbird", a 1944 Piper L-4 from US military surplus.

Absolutely!

Pretty little thing isn't it? I'd love to go hopping around in that plane.

GJE, your turn.

Cheers!

Easy thing, it's a slightly reworked Hawker Hurricane.
I spot my beloved Hurri at first glance!
Slightly different Wings, Fuselage, Tail section, the engine has been swapped and the gears are modded, but other than that only the cockpit doesn't match.

Best regards - Mike
