the last aircraft is an Italian airplane. I think is a Macchi2000.

Good call! Not specifically designed for torpedo bombing, but it did have that capability. I also could find nothing that said it was involved in any arctic convoy protection, BUT, who is to say that this combat footage is historically accurate. When the Germans invaded Norway back in '40, a few of these old Vickers may have taken part in that action, and this may possibly be footage culled from then.

It's a Vickers Wellesley. But was it ever used as a torpedo bomber in action, especially in the Arctic? It seems most unlikely and I find no evidence of it.

"The first twenty-four hours was slaughter. The Germans torpedoed 12 ships, bring the total losses of the convoy to 15. This was twice the losses of any convoy sent to Russia before. But the end was still far off. On the 6th and 7th of July another 3 transports"

Can anyone identify the British torpedo plane near the end? The parts resemble other Fleet Air Arm aircraft on their own, but together, this aircraft doesn't look lke anything on the fleetairarmarchive dot net site.
