Jonathan Collection fly-in,
Nervesa della Battaglia, Italy

The Jonathan Collection Foundation is owned and run by Giancarlo Zanardo, who has built several fine replicas including the huge biplane bomber, the Caproni Ca-3.

A large range of aircraft attended the fly-in, which was on June 21st. Unfortunately Zarnardo's replicas stayed tucked away in the splendid Bessonneau hangar which he restored after buying it from Wethersfield, Essex, England, on eBay.
