This is the first of a dozen Albatross received by the Italian AF under the MDAP aid program. Delivered on 1958-03-26 . Withdrawn from use in July 1979, after a last flight from Ciampino to Biella, it remained for years in storage at this AeroClub, but abandoned. Approximately in 2002, it was partially dismantled and transferred by a CH-47 of the Italian Army to the collection of preserved aircraft in Cameri AB.
