Photo Comment

The type lost a competition for a second level trainer to the Fiat G.49, which in turn was beaten by the T-6 in the end. Only two prototypes were built, this one seeing the light as I-RAIE in 1952. Became I-AMAC, then MM554 of the RSV as it is displayed now in full markings. Showing the very good access to the P&W Wasp engine.
