During the 1960s, the South African Air Force recognized the requirement for an inshore maritime patrol and fisheries surveillance aircraft. With an already established relationship with Piaggio the P-166 was chosen. Named Albatross in SAAF service, the first was delivered in October 1969; 884 was delivered the same December. The fleet was retired in 1992/1993 and replaced by Dakotas, the very aircraft the Albatross replaced. 884 was sold as ZS-NJX in June 1993. Written off 14 August 2011 in a controlled flight into terrain accident at Mamotswiri Peak near Tzaneen, Limpopo. Photographer unknown

Parco Velivolo Storici was part of Deltaland on a small local airfield. Unfortunately, the collection and airfield have long gone. As with a few other airframes from this location, this aircraft went to the Agriturismo Azienda Agricola Oasi in Cassano Magnago.

This aircraft at the time of the photo was an original DL3 model, equipped with the Lycoming LTP-101 turboprop engines. The D identified the fourth main model of the aircraft family, and the L3 the third series of Lycoming engines used by Piaggio. On 13 June 2005, at Le Bourget, Piaggio showcased to Italian officials the first aircraft modified as DP1 (photo ID 491105) for Guardia di Finanza (the Italian Custom Police). The aircraft was re-engined with Pratt & Whitney PT6A-121 engines and so the model changed to DP1, P1 meaning first use of a P&W engine.

The D identified the fourth main model of the aircraft family, and the L3 the third series of Lycoming engines used by Piaggio. In this case the turbo engine Lycoming LTP-101. APH means that this version was used for aerophotogrammetry, a service that the Italian Air Force operated also for other Ministries. It had a special flat fuselage bottom with aerophotogrammetry equipment windows.

During the 1960s, the South African Air Force recognized the requirement for an inshore maritime patrol and fisheries surveillance aircraft. With an already established relationship with Piaggio the P-166 was chosen. Named Albatross in SAAF service, the first was delivered in October 1969; 896 was delivered in March 1974. The fleet was retired in 1992/1993 and replaced by Dakotas, the very aircraft the Albatross replaced. 896 served with 27 Sqd its entire service life and arrived at the SAAF Museum Ysterplaat in October 1991.
