I had to bacon these. Based on my user name, you can guess why.

This is the hangar of the Elmas airport where the Aero Club and the Aeronautica Sarda, the company that refurbished T6 in Sardinia, were located. The Pilot with mustache that is about to enter the cockpit for a test flight is the Cap. Elio Cunico, Chief test pilot at the then Comando Settore Aereo della Sardegna at the Elmas airport. This hangar was demolished in the mid-2000s.

Capitano Pilota Elio Cunico, M.llo Mele, Serg.Magg. Musia.
Being not very tall Cap. Cunico had a weakness; look where he has heels.

Great shots, thanks, Cap. Cunio has the proverbial cat that swallowed the canary look, awesome.
