London Blitz night bomber 1941 - Heinkel He111?

[mosquitoman]

The Cr.42s were escort for some Italian bombers which made a raid on Ramsgate but I don't remember the bomber type

[cheddar cheese]

I never knew about the bombers, my guess is that the would have been the lovely Fiat Br.20.

[the lancaster kicks ass]

yes they definatley launched bombers........

How interesting. I knew about the Germans bombarding Britain, but I didn't know the Italians got in on the act, but then like most of WW2, the Itailians just didn't make an impression.

The Italian bombers were BR20's and they paid a heavy price. One odd thing, when the British looked at the crach sites at least one of the BR20's had a rifle with bayonet on board. Why, no one ever found out.

Just the thing for a close flying Spit!

They used BR.20's? Foolish Italians...The BR.20 may have looked damn good but it was by no means a good plane

This is a little out of date(...) but for the record the Italiens also used the Fiat Br.20 during the B.o.B - on one raid, 6 out of 14 aircraft were shot down. My uncle, then a kid, managed to pinch a hispano-Suiza engine valve from one of them before the guards could get there (I have it still, on loan to a small museum in NZ while I'm not there - 12 years so far...)

I don't know if they used anything else though, although the SM 79 sparviero is a possibility..
