Isn't there another Catalina in the UK somewhere, in airworthy/semi-airworthy state? think it has camo painted on top of the wing? Sure I saw a pic in a magazine a while back.

Yes it's based in Duxford and does regular air shows

That is the same one we are talking about on this thread.

This is the other one (North Weald) - http://www.eghf.co.uk/index.php/catalina-news looks like it has gone to Florida - http://www.catalina.org.uk/2015/07/31/world-catali...

Thanks, that must have been it, was probably in Flypast or similar I saw it when they flew it from North Weald to Biggin Hill.

You got to the post before I realised my error and deleted it

A white Catalina was at Duxford this morning, I've always assumed there was only one white Cat in Essex.

Matt Dearden - ("Moose" IIRC). Worth following on Twitter for some great shots of flying in Indonesia.

I do indeed have a share and fly the Catalina as regularly as I can. In fact I was playing with her over Duxford just the other day, doing my left seat check out. Pretty cool getting to fly such a wonderful old girl on both land and water

Just checked out your blog- fascinating stuff, especially finding the DC-3 crash site. I can see me wasting quite a lot a time reading through all that! does the Catalina spend much time operating from water? I had always assumed it stays on dry land due to corrosion and maintenance being increased by getting everything wet?

Awesome blog Moose. It was a shame the Cat wasn't invited to display at Flying Legends this year.
