All
Does anyone have a colour image of the M.24 (I-TITI) which was on display at the Milan Science and Technology Museum during the 1970s?
PM me if you can help, thanks.

Thanks chaps. Yes quite confusing, it appears the rego was not officially adopted postwar. Infact the aircraft was not even identified as an M.24 until the late 1970s!
Interesting story about it, which will appear in the next issue of Classic Wings – as you can appreciate, it is our ‘Mystery Aircraft’ this time around 😉

Sorry Martin – no image. I have cn 24-2102, and previous reg N7022P only.

To confuse things even more, I-TITI was also on a Piper Comanche! (W/O in 1969) Viva Italia!
flyingant do you have an image of the Piper?

It’s a bit irritating – now I found a Hungarian website http://horac.freeweb.hu/talalat.php?GTA=t201
If you scroll down to HA-NAN, there is a Jancsó-Szegedy M-24, and the caption stated I-TITI and Milan!
edit: finally here is an image of MUEGVETEMY M. 24 I-TITI

edit 2.: the registration no I-TITI is fictious! never appeared in the Italian Aviation Registry

You are confusing two aircraft here: I-TITI was the Magni VALE, as Martin has pointed out.

No this isn’t it. The M.24 I am referring to is a Hungarian low wing monoplane (MSrE)

Hi Roger
Never been, so don’t know the shape of the museum. If you can dig them out, great. Meantime I have had another guy PM me saying he has a shot- so don’t stress if you can’t.
cheers

Is that the museum that was housed in the large concrete dome-shaped structure?
If so I went, in the early 70’s, on one of Bob Ogden’s trips. The aircraft I remember most is the P-47 – first one I had seen.
I took colour slides I think and they should have survived (although I recall some early Fuji slides sort of melting around that time) – the trouble is finding them.
