Very early Fiat G-91 on one of the first visits of the type to the UK. Would have been operated by 103 Gruppo, 5a Aerobrigata, the only G-91 unit at that time. The show was commemorating the 10th Anniversary of NATO, hence the NATO emblem on the fin. The aircraft was later converted to G-9!PAN standard with the Frecce Tricolori and was damaged beyond repair in a heavy landing at Ramstein on 29th June 1981. Photo by Roger Wright.
