Google is your friend...  ;) If I don't know a type, I just google the registration or put it in the search at airliners.net

Splendid work, thanks for taking us along this airshow!  :)

Probably, but VH-BYB, the aircraft pictured, is a Swift.

I would actually call it a Globe Swift.  

Ah..beat me to it.

did the Connie or Catalina fly at all during the show?

[Mitch.]

It is a Swift, thanks for that.

did the Connie or Catalina fly at all during the show?

Yes indeed, but they were just circuits. I have shots of the Connie taking off, in the air and as it landed. If you look closely in the first shot, in the top right hand corner, there is a faint glimpse of the Connie. Its easily recognisable in the high-res shot. The Dakota also flew.

Awesome shots in all your post but, my favorites are all the shots of the Connie!!!

Great work!!

Darn... I need new glasses...  :-[  :-X  ;D

Quite - otherwise that would have been a hell of a modification of a Tiger Moth.
