This aircraft was restored in 1989, for the first meeting of 102 Gruppo. It was delivered to 5 Aerobrigata as 5-856 and concluded its career in Piacenza with 155 Gruppo of 50 Stormo as 50-13, when it was withdrawn from use in July 1972. The reason for the fake serial could be the availability of a good original photograph of aircraft 5-855 that was included in the commemorative book of the event, and that could have been used by the restoration team for painting.
