Replica constructed by Memorial Flight, using an original unrestored aircraft owned by the Musée de l'Air et de l'Espace as a pattern aircraft. The rotary engine and some other equipment are original. Construction started in 1995 and was finished in 2000. The aircraft initially carried French colours, but during restoration in 2004/2005 it was painted in these markings, representing an aircraft of I Squadriglia of the Regio Esercito, the Royal Italian Army. The replica was acquired by Eberhard Fritsch from Austria in 2016 and officially registered to him as F-AZNP on 20 March 2017.
