Built by Aeritalia-Alenia as G222RM (RM = Radio Misure). The G222 did not passed its service life unharmed. It was first damaged by a strong wind at Trapani-Birgi in February 1986, repaired. Then its nose was badly damaged by collapsing of a roof of an old RSV hangar at Pratica di Mare in December 2001. Not repaired, and withdrawn from use at Patrica iup to mid-2002. It bwas then dumped in the south east corner of the field by March 2003. Last reported as such in late 2008.
