    The diavoli rossi emblem is still in use by 6 Stormo,
    6º Stormo - Wikipedia
    and was carried by a lot of Italian fighter units including an acrobatic team from the fifties on F84F.
    That Me 109 has a very evident sand filter, did the later versions carry them? could be RA rather than ANR, though the Gigi tre osei emblem was the emblem of 150 gruppo in Sicily 1943 rather than the diavoli rossi 150GCT.
    Going back through the thread the He 115 used bythe RAF were mostly ex Norwegian airforce, not captured planes, IIRC there were 4 of the former plus one captured.
    An Italian pilot flew a captured P38G for a while and got a "probable" on a B24 with it until the unsuitable fuel corroded the tanks.
    And look who is inspecting this Hurricane in Regia Areonautica camo
