In the large mixture of aircraft wich reached the Italian Co-Belligerent Air Force in the Sourthern Italy after the Armistice (September 8, 1943) were also some light aircraft employed for training and secondary purposes like this Saiman 202M (location unkown, surely an airport of Southern Italy, 1944/1945). The Saiman 202 was a two-seater, single engine produced by Saiman at Ostia, near Rome, and other industries until 1943. After the war the Saiman 202s again in flight conditions, about twenty, was gived by the new Aeronautica Militare (Italian Air Force) to Italian aero club (I remember again some Saiman in years Sixty of XX Century like the planed of Aero Club di Roma).
