Hi all,

Milan/Malpensa

An early start to get the car from the airport and then see what we could get from publicly accessible areas. We didn’t spend long here as we had quite a day planned ahead of us….just a few requests from this day – anyone for the stored Tornado’s at Ghedi, confirmation of what people believe to be at Calcinatello di Calcinato

Ghedi

We didn’t try and take any photographs into this military base. There were a group of stored Tornado’s close to the public road which mostly defied identification, due to a fantastic concrete wall and the lack of any markings. We felt comfortable claiming the one with 20000 Hrs marks on tail, which we believe to be MM55002.

Calcinatello di Calcinato

I think MM6377/MM6397 is (MM6311)/MM6377/2-62, Fiat G.91R/1B (fuselage). Also think that MM55-4869 is (MM55-4858), North American F-86K Sabre. There is disagreement with a lot of my usual go to sources such as Euro Demobbed & Scramble. I came across MAR November 2020 during my research and this has Calcinato (BS) – (9.20) Several aircraft can be found at the Aviosuperficie Casa Bianca. (MM6311)/2-62 Fiat G.91R/1A has 6410 hand-painted in several places (tail from MM6377 c/n 181, serial has been over-painted and reads MM6387), (MM6415)/2-45 Fiat G.91R tail of MM6390, marked as such 1504 Mikoyan MiG-21R ex Romania, Russian c/s, (MM55-4858) NA F-86K tail of c/n 109 (MM55-4869), marked as such MM53790 NA T-6H-4M rear fuselage.

I know that there is a wealth of knowledge and wisdom out there – can any of you say for sure what can be found at this collection if we take the front part of the aircraft over the tails! Thanks.
