The flight of a Fiat G.46 (G-BBII). Not seen or heard one before or since, so I presume quote rare. The one recorded was painted in camoflauge
Recorded at Little Gransden in 2008.
The Fiat G.46 was a military trainer developed in Italy shortly after World War II powered by a single Alfa Romeo 115ter engine (215BHP). Earlier marks were powered by de Havilland Gypsy Queen engines. The nose certainly looks like it was built for a de Havilland.

Brilliant – lovely aircraft sounds and great fun! Will share the link with my readers on my next month’s issue of ‘modelflight’.

Thanks Reg.
Good online magazine. I’ve been thinking about an (A)RTF plane for some time – looks like your area has more detail and model making but where would you recommend starting?
