Check the radome on top of the cockpit - different aircraft. Also, the
second ("Navy") picky shows US markings.

Bruce,

I agree with you that tboth pictures were taken at the same airfield;
however, the one marked S2 Italian is a S2.

The posting marked S2Navy appears to be a C-1 COD (Carrier Onboard
Delivery.) It may have been operating from an Italian airfield carrying
passenger and mail to a carrier deployed in the Mediterranean.

As I pointed out the airport is that of Rimini (Italy)
Tanks for the details.
The C1 is even marked COD on the right nacelle (does it actually means
Carrier Onboard
>> Delivery or is it a coincidence ?)
