A G.91T/1 on display at Venaria Reale

In recent days, a FIAT G.92T/1 jet trainer appeared at the entrance to a car bodywork in Venaria Reale, near Turin. The historic aircraft is externally intact, except for the photographic nose cone. The ejection seats are also present, and it is feared that they are still armed with ejection charges. The owner of the workshop and his father are pure aviation enthusiasts. They also purchased a de Havilland Ghost 48 Mk I series II centrifugal jet engine, previously used on the de Havilland Venom FB.50s of the Swiss Air Force. In preparation for a re-engineering attempt, Aeromedia provided the engine's parts catalogue. Aeromedia also created a poster dedicated to the interesting private aeronautical collection on display in Venaria Reale. (Aeromedia).

In the picture: FIAT G.91T/1 III Series MM54410 / 60-98 (c/n 137 built in 1974) exhibited at the entrance of the Laganà car bodywork in Venaria Reale on 30 July 2008. One of the last examples built in the early 1970s as part of the "third series" of 25 aircraft, recognizable by the raised rear canopy to accommodate the new Martin-Baker "zero-zero" seats. It began its career in 1974 in Amendola, at the Scuola Volo Basico Avanzato Aviogetti (Advanced Basic Jet Flight School) with the individual code SA-110. In 1981 it was temporarily used by the Reparto Sperimentale Volo (Experimental Flight Unit) at Pratica di Mare. In 1982 it returned to the SVBAA in Amendola. Around 1987 the SVBAA was renamed 60° Stormo and consequently the aircraft changed code to 60-98. It was decommissioned around 1993, when the 60° Stormo became the 32° Stormo. (Aeromedia)
