IIRC there was an occasion in Cyprus when an Italian Gina (G91) arrived for the weekend and, for some reason, came to grief off the side of the runway on departure. Crew were OK and, next day, departed for home via Larnaca.
The airframe was left where it was awaiting the, presumed, Italian, BOI and salvage crew. When nothing had been heard after a few days, a message was sent to their base asking for disposal instructions for airframe XXXX. This evoked a dead pan reply from the Italians that there must be a mistake, that aircraft had been struck off charge and scrapped about a year previously.
It, reportedly, transpired that the base had, instead of using it as a gate guard or scrapping it had kept it as an unofficlal hack, fudging fuel figures on other sorties to fuel it, and drew lots to see who got to use it at the weekends. All going smoothly till said incident. The airframe was subsequently removed to the fire dump and nothing more heard from the Italians....
