slide scan from the NK collection. - This Alitalia Caravelle carried a small SAM sticker on its visit to Munich-Riem in 1975. It was active for another 3 years before being retired at Venice in 1978. Afterwards, it was displayed in northern Italy, and it was last seen at Ceolini in derelict condition as late as 2019.

Some of Alitalia's Caravelles went to the charter associate SAM but some stayed into the 1970s and got the new Alitalia paint scheme which suited them.
