The Me109 is from JG77 and we can discern the black "death riding a scythe with an umbrella" 4th staffel's insignia under the cockpit.
We did indeed buy a few of these Capronis. They were called "Klippfiskbombere" - or a loose translation "Bacalao-bombers" because they were purchased partly with shipments of dried cod. They were not operational as the Germans attacked.
Of note is that it appears the Caproni was pictured at some airshow looking at the planes in the background while something with the picture of the wrecked planes says "Sola/Stavanger" though it is just a hunch and could very well be wrong.
