This time I bring you shots of the Consolidated Pby Catalina. It's a plane with a special meaning to me and fortunately this one has dutch markings. I hope that you enjoy them

Took off from Aruba


Landed for a quick nap


Took off again en rout to St-Maarten


Couldn't sit still so went off again


Well at least mine is a flyer!!


I hope you liked them

The saviour of many downed pilots over the channel! Lovely shots, nice place to fly too!

You really hit it with that fourth shot. Nice series to look at, and a rare use of an amphibian...pity...

Has it a VC...who made that plane?  Where can it be found (is it a Tim Conrad model)/

Hmmm...could have sworn it was a Tim Conrad...wonder where I saw that before...

One of my favourites, if not my favourite a/c.  I have it in every paint, I do believe.  Used as waterbombers here until a few years ago.  Unbelievable durability

Where is here?

Botwood, Newfoundland, Canada my hometown where the Catalina flew under the RCAF, as anti-submarine patrols and shipping convoy escorts.  Have tons of pics of them in our local library and we have restored one at the local airbase (non-flyable) in the wartime colours.
Cheers
