A Meridionali Ro.37 bis 'Lince' has been found if Afghanistan & is being returned to Italy for restoration and exhibitiom..
'Lince' means 'Lynx'
The plane is variously called an IMAM Ro.37 bis, Meridionali Ro.37 bis, or just Ro 37 bis.
INAM is 'Industrie Meccaniche Aeronautiche Meridionali '
A good reference for anyone without good books is Wikipedia under IMAM Ro.37
Another good reference is from our Stormo !:
http://www.stormomagazine.com/ModelArti ... DS_1a.html
There is a story on the subject of the Afghanistan plane at:
http://milano.corriere.it/milano/notizi ... 4701.shtml
Google translation can make sense of most of it, for people like me who are deficient in Italian..
There are some Englist language references about the story, (including photos) which Google turns up, on entering the names mentioned above.

Hello All,
That very airplane has been fully restored and was unveiled at the Volandia Park and Museum of Flight at Malpensa, near Milan, a couple of days ago!
