Now we cover some fictional users for this elegant airplane.
- Republican Spain: There was a report of a high winged monoplane fighter that was being used by the Republicans, that didn't fit in the description of other confirmed ones. By a process of elimination it has been suggested that it could be one of the two prototypes of the A.102, however it's very unlikely.
- Kingdom of Egypt: If the A.102 had been successful, maybe some British company, Gloster, in this case, could have bought the production license and would have started manufacturing, and selling them to some commonwealth countries, at an affordable price. Kingdom of Egypt could have been one of those countries.
- Kingdom of Yugoslavia: Looking for affordable airplane fighters to equip their squadrons, it wouldn't be absurd to think that they could've been interested on the A.102 given the currency exchange rate, it was cheaper to buy in Czech Korunas, than in British Pounds, American Dollars, German Reichmarks or French Francs.
