Whilst NOT YET in enemy hands, these vehicles were photographed in Singapore not long before the Japs invaded.

Default F15 + CS8 in Italian service

Great find, Rich, thanks.

Part of the photo has been published in Squadron/Signal's "Italian Truck-Mounted Artillery" by well-known Italian specialist Nicola Pignato with the inscription :

"A front view of the F15 with the Breda Model 39. Two ammunition boxes are placed near the spare tire, behind the driver's position. The commander is a sergeant. The weapon posed a danger to Allied aircraft below 2,000 meters (about 6,700 feet)."

You can find additional info on the bottom of my site :
www.o5m6.de/wehrmacht/2cm_Breda.html

The truck folowing the F15 is a captured Morris CS8 15-cwt with an Italian Autocannone da 65/17 mounted onto the truck bed. The Italian Regio Esercito had some 30+ vehicles in service in 1942.

-Oliver.

The Italian photo is an official German agency one from the look of it. My apologies for not showing the reverse.
