My father grew up in Vlissingen and he remembered the CR.42s quite well- the aerodrome was between Vlissingen and West Souburg. The CRs were probably part of the Italian force sent to assist the Luftwaffe over England, but I don't know from which squadron they were, and they were only there for a short time. The distance from Souburg to England was probably a bit too great, which would explain why the CRs were only there briefly- possibly no more than a month.
