    My guess would be a Caproni ca 100, possibly captured in AOI (Africa Orientale Italiana) and used by the british.

    Part one of the question is CORRECT :) It certainly is a Ca 100!

    Now how about part two? It has to be easy ;)

    I don't have a reference on british squadron codes so had to resort to google, so it's average-internet-quality info , what I found is GA is 21 (RAAF).

    Your google-fu is weak, not RAAF :D

    Jaws, Italy, RAF, Western Desert, GA squadron code, P-40s, well?

    Very near miss!
    You may actually be right (I can't distinguish the two and the photo is not high quality) but my source says it's not a Ju 352.

    The 252 is right, the two are very similar externally, the 352 was a "mass producable" 252 but the big red tail band was dropped by the time the 352 was built.
    Over to you ....
