Photos Ansaldo Aircraft

[musec04]

Hello,


Currently on ebay are three photos,none of them particularly well posed of Italian aircraft. However,what is interesting is a photo of an Ansalso marked SV 6369

I wonder if this is the prototype or preproduction machine as it comes from a small batch of aircraft probably numbering six examples at most. The SV rather than SVA tends to suggest possibly the prototype,but if so why preceded by 6368?



Regards,


Clint

Hi Clint

Very nice find. Never seen any SVA painted without the A.
As per Alegi the design was initially only known as the SV (drawn up by two DTAM individuals
Umberto Savoja and Rodolfo Verduzio)

Ansaldo became the chosen producer with an added A.

However the first couple of SVA 1 built were initially only known only as as SV, hence the lack of
of an A. If all the initial six MM6368 - 6373 carried only SV is something I don't know.

Cheers
Stig
