Re: Italy AMC..

You don't say where you saw the abbreviation "AMC".

If it was an Ultra message it would mean "Air Movement Control"

Airfield 508 was Bologna.

Re: Italy AMC..

Your guess is right Ultra is in cause , I think that 508 is an airplace around Bologna, I noted that Bologna wear AMC236

AMC Air movement control ? But this AMC refers to a place not to an action , quite strange any idea why they used these terms ???

Air Movement Control can mean a place, just like the modern expression Air Traffic Control can. I take it usually to mean the control tower at the airfield concerned.
