Country:  | Is it Pacific Wrecks, Gnomey? I know they used to have a pretty comprehensive list and all. I know they have redesigned the site lately and things are a little more difficult to find.

| Fiat BR-20 MM21505, shot down over France by the Dewotine D-520 of the French ace Pierre Le Gloan on 13/06/1940. It's probably the last BR-20 in the world.    www.aiam.info/05/index.htm

Country:  | i'll have to agree with u on that. given that it has been underwater for 60 odd years, its in purdy gosh darn golly good condition. A bit of tweaking here and there, and a lick of paint...good as new (or as close as dammit)
Prob not in flying condition tho...
