Nice picture.
Impressive to see this WW I bomber in flight.
So we need to bringe these two together.
The Aviatik is not far away in the Czech Republic...
Voilą le soleil d'Austerlitz!
Fly my pretties... great pics chaps !
That is just fantastic - I never thought we'd see a WWI multi-engined type back in the air to be honest. Brilliant effort.
Superb.
If only I could get to see it whilst I'm in Italy.

Great to see a Caprioni in the air - and nice pics of both it and the Aviatik
Great pictures! It is good to see that the Caproni can fly.
That Aviatik is brilliant. I'd love to do a repaint like that.
Great pictures. Nice to see such planes getting in the air.
We love our models but these guys are the real fanatics!
super pictures!
Notice it does not have the back gun stand, I wonder why............
Spot on Chris.

I suspect that the rear gun stand probably breaks modern Health and Safety regulations, Alastair.
That is not the seaplane version of the Caproni Ca.3, Chris, and I doubt that it will be doing a 'round the world tour'.
Seaplane version?
I did find a Ca.43 which was a Ca.4 with twin pontoons, but it was after the war and only one was made . . . : (

According to the Wikipedia article on the Caproni Ca.3, in the section on 'Variants', there was a prototype seaplane version given the post-war designation Ca.39. The prototype's number was CA 211.
It's Zanardo replica. Little hops, not the first flight.
