Greece purchased 30 PZL P.24F and 6 PZL P.24G fighters between 1938 and 1939. Although a production licence was purchased, only one P.24F was completed. The P.24F was armed with 2 × 20 mm cannons and 2 × 7.92 mm machine guns, while the P.24G carried 4 × 7.92 mm machine guns. When Italy invaded Greece in October 1940, the P.24s formed the backbone of the Royal Hellenic Air Force. Despite being outclassed in speed by Italian Macchi C.200s and Fiat G.50s, Greek pilots achieved considerable success, exploiting the P.24’s manoeuvrability and heavy cannon armament. P.24s flew both interception missions and ground attack sorties during the Greco-Italian War. When Germany launched its invasion of Greece in April 1941, the P.24s fought against overwhelming odds. Many were destroyed on the ground, but a number of aerial victories were scored against the Luftwaffe. By the end of the Balkan campaign, virtually all Greek P.24s had been destroyed, either in combat or by retreating crews to prevent capture.

#sanicole was probably also one of the last airshows to see the F-4 Phantom as a flying display, thanks to the #greekairforce. #phantom #aviation #airshows #airforce
