The S.I.A.I.-Marchetti FN-333 Riviera is four-seat single-engine amphibian flying boat.
The three-seat prototype of the FN-333 designed and built by Nardi S.A. flew first on 4 December 1952.
The development was very slow till SIAI-Marchetti acquired an exclusive manufacturing
licence for the FN-333 in March 1959. They called the aircraft "Riviera".
SIAI-Marchetti placed a slightly enlarged four-seat variant in production which had flown in
prototype form on 8 December 1954. The first of ten pre-production Rivieras
was flown in February 1962.
On 17 September 1970, S.I.A.I.-Marchetti FN-333 Riviera SE-CWN was photographed at the Groningen Airport Eelde
in the Netherlands. The SE-CWN was registered I-SIAU before. On 20 June 1973, amphibian aeroplane was registered
LN-BEG in Norway. After the aircraft was withdrawn from use, the registration LN-BEG was cancelled on 30 June 1989.
In December 2005, it was mentioned that the aircraft is being rebuilt.
