I'm converting some of Castaway Arts' Mahdists into Italian colonial Dubats, and in looking for reference images, I found this bit of footage, which shows, among other things: Lots of Italian colonial troops, Cr32s being serviced and taking off, Italian engineers engaged in water filtration and pumping and ferry operations. All-in-all, a pretty interesting bit of media:

Thanks Jeff. Interesting video. By the way the aircraft don't look like CR32's to me. For one thing the cockpit is too far forward. They might well be the earlier CR30 but I could be wrong.

Based on their low thrust line they could be CR20's.
