Must be a lot of open water around Tamworth, as I think back in the day's of the TV program bullseye, two blokes from there won a speedboat ....always stuck in my mind that, about as far away from the sea as possible and win a speedboat.

I like THIS one.

The Catalina (or Canso to give this one its correct name), flew over here in South Essex yesterday evening .

According to the information I picked up when researching my Black Cat Catalina she needed at least a mile of open water to take off

No lift aids except a big 'sod off' wing

No flaps or slats



so maybe definitely not Kingsbury Water Park
