Catalina over Bath

[bobthemonkey]

Am I going crazy or did a white Consolidated PBY Catalina make a low pass over Bath today?

I guess it was something to do with Yeovilton but was heading towards it instead of away from it. Beautiful thing even if the Airfix kit was a bit of a mare to put together well.

Floats on the wings were a pain to glue in the down position IIRC.

Missed that, and I work just outside Bath.

It will be at Farnborough in a few days for.

If you ever fancy building a 1/72 Catalina model again - the newer Academy kit is the way to go.
