Although this is a replica, it still has to be one of the most romantic antique aircraft flying anywhere in the world. It's an Italian Caproni Ca.3 trimotor, with two tractor engines and one pusher. The Italian air force used them during WWI to bomb targets inside the Austro-Hungarian empire. The originals were powered by  Isotta-Fraschini V.4B six-cylinder engines, but this one has been fitted with three straight-six Ford 300 auto engines. It's part of the Jonathon Collection and is based at Nervesa della Battaglia airfield in north-eastern Italy.
