After the pictures a brief history.
In facts in the last months of the war in Italy, this bird, known with the serial number MM 12822, was intensively used by her pilot, Tenente Furio Lauri, for very dangerous missions to rescue allied pilots that parachuted themselves behind German lines.
After the war she was privately owned for some time until was acquired by Vigna di Valle Museum and restored to those colors.
As you can see above, this machine was enlisted in the ranks of the British No. 1 Special Force and was given full three color camouflage.

I don't know what happened above, so I repeat here:
