BR.20’s ground handling

Sheltered by the anti-blast pen an Italian fighter FIAT G.50 with engine running without chocks and pilot or serviceman on board (one serviceman in singlet and shorts is on the right wing). Unit and airfield unknown (but perhaps on Italy). Note the rough condition of the terrain and a CR.42 in background. Victor Sierra
