    Italian Floatplane?


    Sorry to be a nuisance DHC2pilot and please bear with me for the intrusion.
    I wonder whether anybody from you gentlemen is in a position to decipher this unmistakable italian floater. I have been looking all over for a floater with pull propeller of the same era but to no avail.
    Please help me! Thanks:isadizzy:

    There's definitely the tekst 'CANT' on the tail but I can't quite make out the number... I see similarities with this CANT.35:

    But the tail is different.
    Intel i9-13900 Raptor Lake , Be Quiet! Dark rock slim cooler, 32 Gb Corsair DDR5 RAM, MSI Z790 Tomahawk motherboard, Asus RTX 4060Ti 16Gb, Thermaltake 1050 Watt PSU, Windows 11 64-bit 1 m2, 4 SSD, 2 HDD.

    Thanks very much Ferry for your assistance.
    It very much looks like a CANT35 (or 37?) although the tail is slightly different....but anything can happen in the wonderful world of aircrafts!

    Sorry, BG, I've been away on holiday for a few days, away from my books and a PC !

    I think I've found the answer to your riddle, as explained here - it's a CANT 21-bis, I'm pretty sure.....here is a photo of the pusher version
