215. I-DABT Sud-Aviacion SE.210 Caravelle 6N SAM Societa Aerea Mediterranea LGW 11JUN69

Replacing an earlier scanned slide with a better version 10-Jul-15, plus Topaz DeNoise AI 02-Aug-23.

The 'not very old but well used' mini van was the Caledonian Airways Traffic D/O's only transport in 1969 ! On this particular day, that guy was me!

I-DABT was delivered to Alitalia in Apr-62, only six years later, in Jul-68, it was leased to SAM Societa Aerea Mediterranea. The aircraft was retired and stored at Rome-Fumicino in Feb-77.

It was sold at auction in 1983 and moved to Villorba, a town just north of Venice. It was moved to Cusinati di Rosa, northeast of Vicenza, Italy in 1987 and resides in the grounds of La Casa dei Gelsi, a restaurant and wedding/party venue. Updated 04-Jun-19.

There is a photo on Planespotters of this aircraft in bits at Villorba (No: 1, below). Also a photo on Jetphotos (dated Apr-13) taken at Cusinati near Vicenza, Italy of the aircraft in a wild white/red livery (No: 2).

Hat tip to Nigel Barrow for the additional information on it's current location. The aircraft currently (Jun-19) shows on 'Google Earth', enter 'La Casa Dei Gelsi'.
