The Fiat C.R.32 was an outstanding fighter plane design by engineer Celestino Rosatelli and first flew in 1933. Apart from Italian service, it saw world-wide export and at least 100 were license-built in Spain by Hispano Aviación, designated HA-132 'Chirri' (cricket). Being one of those, C.1-328 was donated by Spain in 1955 and initially put on display here as 'MM4666' but restored later to a Spanish civil war livery.
