Ex-Guardia di Finanza MM80848/GdiF49; later to AS9213 under the Armed Forces of Malta's serial system. It was handed over to the GdiF in dismantled state on 13.2.18 and then transported to Italy overland by truck. It was completely restored in AFM colours, and markings and is now displayed at the Museo Storico del Servizio Aereo della Guardia di Finanza at Pratica di Mare Air Base, near Rome. The GdiF chose AS9213 because it was the very first NH-500 to join the service and therefore had greater significance for the Museum. The restoration was completed on 19 December 2018.
