After completion of its restoration at NAS Valkenburg, the Dutch Catalina PH-PBY was ferried to Amsterdam for painting. After arrival it was parked inside hangar 13, at the former Fokker factory. At that time this hangar was in use by the Aviodrome crew, who were doing several projects here including the L-749 'Connie', N749NL. The Catalina continued to fly in The Netherlands until 2019.

Very creative paintjob on this Catalina

Built in 1944 this aircraft is painted to represent JV928 Y. The aircraft crashed on 27th July, 1998 on Southampton Water with the loss of two lives.
