81 di 366 Dodicesimo giorno di quarantena. Un'altra curiosa immagine di un Cant z501 montato su ruote per poterlo spostare fuori dall'acqua. A distanza di soli sei mesi dal primo volo, il prototipo MM.247 venne giudicato idoneo a tentare la conquista del primato internazionale di distanza in linea retta per idrovolanti, allora detenuto dagli Stati Uniti d'America con 3 860 km, impresa realizzata con un bimotore Consolidated P2Y-1. Il 18 ottobre 1934, dopo aver percorso ben 4 133 km in 26 ore e 35 minuti, con una navigazione parzialmente avversata dal maltempo, il velivolo, che aveva a bordo Stoppani, il capitano Corradino Corrado e il radiotelegrafista Amedeo Suriano, ammarava a Massaua, in Eritrea. Era il trionfo, ma il primato rimase all'Italia solo per poco più di otto mesi: tra il 22 ed il 23 giugno 1935 i francesi, con un quadrimotore Latécoère 300 battezzato "Croix du Sud", riuscivano nell'intento di migliorare il primato precedente con un volo di 4 333 km, da Cherbourg a Liginchor (Gambia). Vedendosi battuti i tecnici dell'azienda di Monfalcone decisero di adoperarsi per riportare il primato in Italia. Nemmeno un mese più tardi, il 16 luglio, lo stesso prototipo (la produzione in serie del Z.501 era cominciata da tempo) dotato di una nuova elica a passo variabile ed affinato nell'aerodinamica e nel rendimento del propulsore, era in condizione di ripetere il tentativo. Questa volta l'equipaggio era composto da Stoppani, il capitano Casimiro Babbi e Suriano. Il volo durò solo 25 ore e 10 minuti, ma furono percorsi ben 4 966 km fino a Berbera, nell'allora Somalia Britannica. #storie #storieefoto #regiamarina #regiaaeronautica #aeronautica #airforce #italia #anr #cant #z501 #idrovolante #boat #history #ww2 #worldwar #worldwar2 #warthunder #fligh #flightsimulator #hunter #crash #africa #gabbiano #seagull https://www.instagram.com/p/B-AW5VnHv8z/?igshid=10nnsce3g79ww

Consolidated P2Y-1C NC2102 (msn 1) by Batman_60 Via Flickr: Although 21 US Navy P2Y-1s were modified to P2Y-2 standard with the engines faired into the upper wing leading edge, this one was not so modified, and was sold as the sole P2Y-1C to Colombia on December 31, 1932 where it served until 1948 reportedly at least for a time with Escuadrón 101 de Transporte. It is also said to have been used as a bomber in the Colombia-Peru War in 1932–1933. The similar P2Y-1J was sold to Japan in 1935. This often seen image, available both on the US Navy site and Wikipedia, is captioned on the latter as "An unidentified Consolidated P2Y (s/n 2101) in flight. This may be the Consolidated "HXC" or "Navy Experimental Type C Flying Boat" produced for Japan. Note the blimp on the right." It has been suggested that it is "...the single P2Y-1C NC2101. This one was exported to Colombia late 1932..." The registration NC2101 was in fact given to two very different aircraft, a Stinson SB-1 Detroiter and a Granville R-2. Although this aircraft appears to have what could easily be seen as a Japanese red circle, the numbers "2102" (no NC) are seen on the tail. Since the P2Y-1C was reportedly registered NC2102, despite the apparent Japanese marking the numbers are quite clearly legible, so I have to assume that both the Wiki author and the source of the other comment made a typo in calling it 2101, even though they disagree on destination countries.
