Mc 200 loss on 26 June 1941

Hello,

According to an Italian forum a Mc 200 of 84a Squadriglia ditched off Reggio di Calabria on 26 June 1941. The pilot name is given as S.ten Allessandro Valignani, but his fate is not given.

I will be interested to have confirmation of the above, and to learn the fate of the pilot and if possible the serial of the aircraft.

Thanks in advance

Laurent

Dear Laurent,
according with the book of Gen. Duma, the unofficial history of 4° Stormo, the plane ditched short of the airfield for fuel exaustion after an escort flight for a convoy of merchant ships and sank under 40 metres of water. Alessandro Valignani was rescued by some fishermen and survived.
Don't have the sewrial number of the plane.
ciao

Ludovico

Thanks Ludovico for the quick answer

The serial would have been a bonus, the fate of pilot was what I was really after.

Best regards
