Default S2 Italian

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 ?)

Yes, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_onboard_delivery and
