Nicked my answer? No worries, you were just faster than me.... I will also advise Gregory Alegi who didn't know anything about this specific 202. Otherwise a type he is is quite fond about! Cheers Stig |

Re: SAIMAN 202 ITAL in Finland
Kari,
the picture had been taken after Italy entered to war (on 10 june 1940) because the S.202 wears the white cross insigna, adopted after that date. When Italy was neutral, the aircraft had a three colour rudder. Gianandrea |

Re: SAIMAN 202 ITAL in Finland
Guys
Gregory Alegi came back with the following regarding the pilot "Vittorio Beonio-Brocchieri was an Italian explorer, academic and journalist. He was recalled as a reserve captain in 1940 and given a Saiman 202 to travel for his work. He wrote several books and it is possible that this Scandinavian tour is also mentioned. Now all we need to do is find that book" Cheers Stig |
