Crew of Cant Z1007bis shot down on 12 February

On 12 February 1943 ,a Cant Z1007bis of 262a Sqa, 107° Gpo, 47° Stormo BT was shot down in the evening southwest of Lake Achkel, Tunisia, by a Beaufighter of 600 Sqn RAF flown by Sqn Ldr Desmond Hughes and Plt Off Laurie Dixon.

The story of this intercept is given in the book "Gentlemen in Blue: 600 Squadron", by Hans Onderwater. The wreck was found and Hughes and Dixon were presented with personnal effects of the Italian crew (all dead).

In the book, the crew is listed as follows (I have added first names and other details into brackets from the following websites:

http://www.alieuomini.it/catalogo/de...2_catalogo/9/5
http://www.aeronautica.difesa.it/sto...9_1945_A_M.pdf)

Crew (all killed):
Magg. Pietro Padovani (pilot)
Cpl (Antonino) Di Pasquale
(Serg.Magg.Motorista Romeo) Furlanetto
(1° Aviere Marconista Amedeo) Attiani (wireless operator)
Air Gunner Panfichi
Engineer (Fransesco) Guccione

I would like to confirm the names and ranks of the crew, and would also be interested in the serial number of the aircraft

Thanks in advance
