According to the Dutch article the pilot crossed several bridges before landing – and the distance between the Aleksandr Nevski bridge (under construction at the time) and the Finland Bridge is only 1.34 km!!

So US Airways Flight 1549 wasn’t the first successful landing of a passenger plane on a river without casualties!
What a difference in media-interest 1963 and 2009!
Very interesting – thanks for posting!

“…no other case is known of an aircraft being towed ashore in such circumstances, with all survivors still on board.”
@Gerard: “last October” was written 13 August 1964 – so the author meant October 1963.

macchim5 you’ve tried it on many fora – have you tried it here? http://www.gavs.it/forum/viewforum.php?f=8&sid=dd0cf08c7e9daaa7d42ad5e20f6bdee1

HISTORY OF THE GREAT WAR BASED ON OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS

THE WAR IN THE AIR
Being the Story of The part played in the Great War by the Royal Air Force
VOL. V
H. A. JONES
OXFORD AT THE CLARENDON
April 1917
“…slipways were built at Poveglia Island in the Venice Lagoon from which the seaplanes could, when the time came, start on their torpedo or bombing attacks
on the Austrian bases at Pola and Fiume.”
“…slipways for seaplanes built in the Venice Lagoon. Formation of No. 6 Wing.”
No. 6 Wing http://www.raf.mod.uk/history/226squadron.cfm
or maybe No. 139 Squadron Royal Air Force, was formed on 3 July 1918 at Villaverla in Italy and was equipped with Bristol F2b fighter aircraft.
edit: I know – no seaplane!
Bristol did not produce any operational seaplanes during the Great War. The only Bristol aeroplanes operating on the Italian front would be Bristol F.2.B Fighter landplanes. They might have been Sopwith Babys (Ansaldo also built these) or Short 184’s.

Maybe macchim5 meant the Bristol Scout or Bristol Bullet?
Thank you Wiesso, I was trying to add to your post by adding a second confirmation..
😉 you’re a native spaeaker – I’m not 🙁
The message I had said:
It has been decided that the aircraft will be presented as a C-3 in a maintenance scene in neutral colour.
…what I also tried to express in my last post…
In this article March 3, 2014 they mention the way to display the Condor as:
“Die Focke-Wulf soll danach in einer Werftszene gezeigt werden.” –
roughly translated: “The Focke-Wulf should be displayed in a hangar like scenery”
…and the last report from Lufthansa, Sept 29, 2014
