RA CR 32 in Libya

How long did the RA use the CR 32 in Libya in WW II and what units used them? I know it was being replaced by the CR 42 and other types in 1940 but when was this aircraft phased out of combat there.

I know about the CR 32s use in Ethiopia from Dust clouds in the Middle East and in the Aegean from Air War over Greece, Yugoslavia and Crete. Thanks in advance.

See the biplane fighters website, a very good one:

Dear James,
under the 12° Gruppo's entry read please 28 January 1941 not February. It was a misprint. This was the last unit to operate CR 32s in North Africa.
