Conceived as a long range civil transport seaplane in 1935, the CANT Z.506 'Airone' gained more fame in its modified version for military use. The last remaining of almost 350 built can be admired right here at its former home base. She was built as a model B for the ASW role and later converted into the S model for SAR duties. Serial not painted on the aircraft. This photo is copyright © Erik Sleutelberg, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
