[Laurent Rizzotti]

Hello,

In the afternoon 12 June 1941 an air-sea rescue Cant Z.506B floatplane (MM45292) of the 612a Squadriglia was shot down by Hurricanes of 46 Sqn RAF off Malta.

I would like to know the names and fate of the crew, or at least if they were lost or rescued.

Thanks in advance

Laurent

One of the crewmembers was killed, m.llo pil. Mario Vincenti. The other four ones, including the other pilot, s.ten. Alberto Donin, were rescued the day after by another Cz.506 of the same unit.
