Text in original Preserved Italian Tanks publication:
This tankette was captured in North Africa during the Second World War. A number of these flamethrower carriers were captured in the Tobruk area (though there is no evidence from British sources of them ever being used) so it is likely that this one was captured at Tobruk. It was examined at the School of Tank Technology, Chobham Lane, Chertsey, before being moved to Bovington. It was put on the museum books in 1951. It is displayed complete with its fuel trailer, and one of its top hatches is open so the interior can be seen.
