During a squadron rotation with the RAF 56sq, four Aeronautical Militare F-104S of Grosseto air base were present. Not the very best picture, as it was typical UK weather. This MM6930, built by Fiat Aviazione/Aeritalia was delivered in 1978 and got extra fame in 2003 by the 999-Ducati colourscheme. The Sparrow eventually was retired in October 2004, and preserved at Gioia del Colle from March 2018.
