This is F-84F-61-RE-50-10 53-6637 that made its final landing in Piacenza on 10 August 1970, in charge to 50 Stormo as 50-10. Stored in Castrette it received the tail or at least the fin from MM 53-6695 (36 Stormo badge and 156 Gruppo yellow arrows on the fin). It was then repainted with fake 69474 serial and 69-4 unit code, to be displayed in front of Labora's former hardware store, after some repositioning and change of mount. Labora moved to the industrial area of Santarcangelo di Romagna, and it was displayed in the inner parking of La Ferramenta, but visible from via della Gronda Est.
