A fate of a SM 79 Sparviero of Gruppo 44° BT

[Many Souffan]

Hello Gianandrea

Grazie mille For your answer which modifies my knowledge of this event.

25 years ago I have met Robert Cunibil the only survivor of the Free French crew of the Glenn Martin 167 incorporated to 8 Squadron.

He remembered very well the event of 16th august, the mission was to protect the british troops in the port of Berbera, the attack by his Pilot (Yves Trécan) what he thought to be a Caproni Trimotor, the little black smoke which grew up rapidly and the explosion near the Scheik Pass.

After the war Robert Cunibil made research and he thought it was a certain sottotenente Luigi Conti the pilot of the Sparviero and maybe but he was not sure, which belonged of 6° Sq...

I would like to know if we know the serial and the code of this SM 79 of 7° Sq ?

It seems there are no photos of SM 79 of 7° Sq during this period but 2 or 3 of SM 79 of ° Sq.

Thank you again for the new infos.

Many.
