As you can see in the previously picture the car body was modified (front wings) after an accident.

Mr Portocala export the car in '80 After few years of restoration in UK the car is now in the original condition, with the same original CKV 250 british number plates. Mr. Portocala sold the car in '90s .

I think the first person from left, in the color photo, is Alexandru Dudu Frim. Can someone confirm this?
Location seems to be Italy - August 1941 by the delivery of the first JIS 79B's.

(link provided to me, by a Italian gentleman named DVX on ww2incolor.com/forum/, I thank him for that)

It's 100% Chifulescu.

Thank you C-2, can you please post an photo of Mr. Chifulescu, I found this topic: http://www.worldwar2.ro/forum/index.php?showtopic=1701&st=0 about pilot Florea Virgil Chifulescu, but unfortunately the photos are gone.
Also, if you know something about this series of photos (are they published in any book?), I will be grateful if you share any information with us.

Regards!

This series of colour photos have already been published in an Italian aviation magazine (Ali d'Italia, IIRC), then in a French book on the Rumanian Savoia bombers as well.

@Mr. Dénes and Mr. C-2, thank you gentleman. Regards!

You ar ewelcome.
As you see the plane is also a Savoia.

Yes, the Junkers Jumo engine is unmistakable.

Browsing the internet, I found at this link the color photos attached below. I also found similar or same black&white photos in the book Rumanian Air Force - The Prime Decade, 1938-1947 by Mr. Dénes.
I have a question for Mr. Dénes, the first two photos with the SM 79B at Buzău-Ziliștea airfield seem to be shot with only moments in between. Can you please tell me if my assumption is correct, and any other information is welcome.

P.S. If the forum admin considers this post of topic, please move it somewhere else or create other topic where we can discuss interesting photos details like uniforms model, person identification, location, date. Thank you!

Don't take it for granted,but I belive the photos are made in Brasov.

Yes, you're absolutely correct. However, I don't have any further details.

Gen. Dénes

Ok, thanks for your answers gentleman. Regards!

Greetings from Melbourne, Australia!

I don't know if this is a live post or not, but I believe I may own a watch that was given as a prize to Dudu Frim in 1938 in Prague. If anyone is able to provide any more information about this, I would be most grateful. I have attached photos for your reference. I can be contacted at mark.m @bigpond.net.au
