BTW, it had one fixed MG (two in total). Precisely it was variant A2 https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...avion-grecque/ )

Same picture, as proposed above, should be for 115 Potez 25 AOP. It was a special version for Greece only (as the link above says).

104 Potez 633 Grec - it was a bomber, armed with 2 MGs (now 4): https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...z-633-b2-grec/

Actually, only one MG was forward firing.

106 Fairey Battle - delivered in 3/40 according to official HAF page https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...ey-battle-b-1/

On a quoted page there is also a Greek photo, although not very good.

105 Hs 126A-1 - precisely, Hs 126K-6 https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...hel-hs-126k-6/

107 Blenheim Mk.IV [fighter-bomber] - now it is armed with 6 MGs and no bombs. While they were delivered without aiming devices and bomb rails, but they were modified to carry bombs in Greece (I guess, that no sooner, than in late 1940) - https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...lenheim-mk-iv/
The quoted HAF page does not mention extra MG armament (moreover, it mentiones only one turret MG). Greek Wikipedia does not treat about their MG armament at all.

There is a photo of Greek Blenheim IV http://i1231.photobucket.com/albums/...eim03kopia.jpg .

Greece also used British-delivered Blenheim IV in 1/42-1/43

122, 143 BR Blenheim I (3/41-5/41), Blenheim I (6/41-46) [level bombers] - precisely, Greek (not British) Blenheims I were used since 2/41 until the fall of Greece, and later this type was not used by Greece (and Blenheim I was rare also in British squadrons by then) - https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...blenheim-mk-i/
Later entry could be BR Blenheim IV

There might be also created a fighter-bomber variant of Blenheim I. https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...blenheim-mk-i/


There could be added Baltimore (British unit 354): https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...iii-iiia-iv-v/

125 Spitfire Mk.XIV (1946) - HAF official page page https://www.haf.gr/en/history/historical-aircraft/ does not mention high-performance Mk.XIV at all - but Spiftire Mk V was used since 1943 - https://www.haf.gr/en/history/histor...fire-mk-vb-vc/ (Mk IX and XVI arrived after 1946)

That's all with aircraft.
