Catalina Engine Problem
Discussion
The Catalina Society Facebook page posted she'd left the Loch this morning and flew to Inverness for inspection, before heading south to the Midlands for an overnight stay. She'll then then fly down to Duxford in the morning.

Glad she’s ok and safely landed. My dad used to copilot Jock Cruickshank albeit before he was awarded his VC.
I just had to check him out. Amazingly still alive and looks like he did his pilot training at the same time as my dad at Pensacola. Did your father train in the US too? My dad went from Catalinas to B17s and latterly B24s.

Edited to make a working link I notice it's in Gaelic - time to brush up on my old Irish/Gaelic skills.
