Taxting out to take part in the flying display at ILA 2008.

This Catalina was here at Glasgow to perform two flights at Greenock nearby as a commemoration of the end of WW2 60 years ago, many flying boats were based at Greenock during the War.

Delivered to the RCAF October 27, 1943 as 11005, this Canso became CF-NJF sometime after being withdrawn and stored in 1959. Photographed when operated by the Province of Saskatchewan for fire fighting, the aircraft is G-PBYA with Plane Sailing at the time of uploading.

Originally a Canadian Air Force Canso (ex 11005), delivered in October 1943. It later flew in Canada as CF-NJF / C-FNJF, and in the summers of 1966 and 1968 it was leased to the French Sécurité Civile as F-ZBAY and F-ZBBD respectively. It was acquired by Plane Sailing Catalina Operations in late 2004 and based at Duxford. Seen here still being flown by them 13 years later, in the markings of USAAF OA-10A Catalina 44-33915.
