This airframe is the last of the 18 Atlantics delivered to the Italian Air Force. Still with the initial big unit codes, at the time of this photo the aircraft was stationed in Lorient for some days during a squadron exchange. Italian Atlantics were operated by a mixed crew of Air Force and Navy Aviation personnel. Management of sea and surveillance operations was responsibility of the Italian Navy, while technical and logistic management, other than the property of the aircraft fleet, was in charge to the Italian Air Force.
