I was just getting my camera out to take a few shots of the red kites over the garden and heard this thing rumbling past in the distance. My brother had an airfix model of a Catalina back in the 1970s but I don’t think I have ever seen a real one.
I’ve got some detailed, hand-written notes from the 1940s on how to maintain these - my grandad was an engine fitter on Catalinas in the RAF during the war. He was stationed in India.
