more at Groningen-Eelde airfield

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 After the aircraft was withdrawn from use, the registration LN-BEG was cancelled on 30 June 1989.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.
