Photographed at the Armed Forces of Malta maritime base on the occasion of its handing over (with MM80854/GdiF-55) to the Air Squadron of the AFM. Became 9H-ABY and AS9213 on 1 May 2000. Last flight for AFM on 9 March 2006. Transferred to the Museo Storico del Servizio della Guardia di Finanza at Pratica di Mare on 13 February 2018 where it was restored and is now displayed in AFM colours. The G di F had requested this particular helicopter as it was their first to enter service and therefore of greater significance for the Museum.
