The Italians did well to show as many aircraft types as possible that had served their air force at their centenary air show held in 2023.
However, in the case of the Macchi M.416, despite 180 being built, the only survivor appears to be a static exhibit inside the national museum at Vigna di Valle. Fortunately, that Macchi was a licence built Fokker S-11 Instructor, of which there are airworthy examples.
In full Royal Dutch Air Force livery, wearing the serial E-14, is PH-AFS which is based at Lelystad.
