Flown by Sergente Pilota Pietro Salvadori, MM5701 suffered a broken oil-pipe which resulted in the engine overheating. Salvadori eventually making a forced landing on the beach a quarter-mile north of the Orfordness lighthouse. Suffolk. The aircraft was later repaired and flown by the RAF as BT474, and is today preserved at Biggin Hill (although unfortunately repainted in an incorrect finish).
