So, far away from Sicily!
Capraia is roughly on the route from Bastia (airport of Borgo) and Pisa

Yes Gianandrea
14 Sq was partly a sea recce unit.
I don't have the book about 14 Sq you refer to, so I cannot comment about that.
I also see there is a Bastia on Sardinia, which unfortunately didn't show up on Google when I looked for it.
Seems MAW 4 is all wrong with their conclusions in this case.
Very odd indeed
However I still believe the SM 79 they mention was this S.73 of yours.
Which of course begs the question, how was the S.82 listed lost?
Cheers
