Gladiator ID?

Posted by Gregory on Wed Feb 25, 2004 01:26:22 PM

Can anyone assist in identifying the Gladiator fuselage in Malta?
A postcard I bought there 25 years ago has the aircraft marked as N5520.
The WRG Registry has it as N5519, which the book "Malta. The Hurricane Years" gives as shot down on 31 July 1940.
I am currently working on the bio of an Italian pilot who was shot down by (apparently) N5520, so the mistery is of some interest.
I would also be interested in a publishable (i.e., high-res) picture of the fuselage.

Thanks in advance,

Gregory
