It most certainly did, and in fact the Potez 25 was the very first warplane in Ethiopia. It was a part of what brought Halie Selassie I to power as Emperor rather than regent for Empress Zewditu.

any chance of a Blackcat version of the PBY http://hars.org.au/2009/05/consolidated ... na-vh-pbz/
I've watched the great lump lift off and do circuits at HARS, quite amazing how it lumbers aloft. Our boys stripped out the landing gear to give greater range for the night intrusion ops. Looking forward to you version.
Thanks
Beriev MBR-2, the later variant with a newer engine and enclosed cabin and turret.
I also will be doing the earlier variant (M-17) and the civilian versions.

If I am not mistaken that is Nesre Makonnen itself, named for Haile Selassie - great job on the markings!
Portsmouth Bill - the origins of the Ethiopian Air Force are very interesting and worth a bit of time!
If the Nesre Makonnen was a specific plane then I've screwed up on the nose. The 25-A2 doesn't have a radial.

I stand corrected; my doubt was that you'd posted incorrerctly: AU into real life.
- great job on the markings!
