End of hostilities - Vol 02 - Sardinia - Olbia - Updated information

In an earlier post I mentioned that the lists showed wreckage located at the following locations:
  • On the airfield Vena-Fiorita, which should be the current Aeroporto di Olbia Venafiorita
  • In a location called Posiana - Ettore - I wonder if this is on the street Via Ettore Pais between Spiaggia Bianca and Golfo Aranci - maybe some Italian friends can help us out here?
  • The third location is just stated as in the vicinity of Olbia. 
I have now received, thanks to a helpful Italian gentleman, updated information on the location Posiana - Ettore:

This should be the seaplane station "Ettore Anfossi" in Terranova Pausiana - which was the name og the town of Olbia before it was changed on August 4th 1939. Ettore Anfossi was an aviator and Silver Medal winner who died during the first world war according to my source.

This new information would of course fit the information that the airframe was crated and readied for transportation - probably then by sea - to a repair facility.
