After just a year, these machines were replaced by CANT Z.501s. Occasionally the CANT 506s managed to shoot down the Allied aircraft that attacked them. The claim was not officially recognized, as the crash of the CANT was not witnessed. It was equipped with Italian designed and built CANT Z.1007 and Fiat BR.20 bombers. Then, the second Blenheim closed on the CANT, strafing it. This was a CANT Z.1007 bomber on 6 June. Chris Taylor also releases his own solo material (under the moniker CANT) on the label. She initially carried a Macchi M.7, which was later replaced by a CANT 25AR. The aeroplanes were in such demand that the Piaggio company also produced CANT Z.506s. The result was the CANT Z.1012. The only surviving CANT is a model 506 B, produced in 1941. The CANT Z.506 had a crew of five. The ships were making with eight destroyer escorts and two CANT Z.506 aircraft overhead. RAF pilots claimed two SM.84s (mistaken for CANT Z.1007s) destroyed. The last CANT Z.506B was built by Piaggio in January 1943.
