I-DIMI DC-6B of SAM left Alitalia in 1962 and went to the Italian Air Force in 1969. With an Ace Freighters aircraft in the background, this could be Biggin Hill May 1965:

I-ACMJ would be an Aviamilano P.19 Scricciolo. ‘BUBI as well as ‘FULX would be a Meteor FL.53/54/55 (unsure of exact variant). Very interesting pictures, keep ’em coming 🙂

Auster I-TONE is indeed a model IV, formerly MT341. Last heard of as far as I can see in an accident in 1969. But there may be experts who know more.

I-AEKK is a G46-3B, formerly MM32086, last heard of in 1976.
I-AEHQ is a Fiat G46-4a, formerly MM53284.
I-ACMJ is an Aviamilano P.19 Scricciolo.
The indoor photos are all the same location, probably Campoformido.
