Interesting - I never knew they fitted V engines to Beest's
According to wiki this must be the Type 216 Prototype Series VII modified with an Hispano-Suiza 12Lbr engine and flown with floats.

Apparently the Spanish used and licence built 26 of them

Two were seaplanes (serials T-17 & T-18) and both were lost before 1938. After that, another (unknown serial) was equiped with the floats of T-17 and must be the one in the photo.

Very nice & clear side view of a Savoia S.62 of the Segunda Escuadrilla de Reconocimiento of the Aviación Naval (2nd Recon. Sq. of the naval aviation). December 1935 in front of one of the hangars in San Javier ANS, Murcia (southeastern Spain). Six months before the civil war.
