Often incorrectly quoted as c/n CV-523 ex 44-34012, but that aircraft was w/o in the Philppines on 5 Jun 1945 when damaged on a rescue mission and abandoned. HK-2115P was officially registered in Jun 1978 as serial number "34012" (its former US Navy ID), which makes it c/n 1566. This was registered as CF-IEE in Jul 1955 and damaged in an accident in 1970. The fuselage was apparently transported to Colombia and used in the rebuild of HK-2115P. It was inspected in 2008 and found to have an Aero Corporation plate with serial 34012. In 2017 it was bought by a German and temporarily stored in Molbergen, Germany since Jan 2018. In 2019 it was transported to Meidl, Fertoszentmiklós, Hungary to be restored by Rare Bird Aviation.

Reported elsewhere as c/n 1817 but it appears it is c/n 1647, hull number 1817 ex Bu.46453. It appeared in the film All the Way, Boys in 1972.

Probably the best angle that could have been had even with the fence, no access to airfield anyway ex USN 46665, N9555C, CC-CNG, CC-CNP, EC-593, EC-CNP, VH-DUL, VH-CAT, N160AT and back to VH-CAT Owned in 2016 by the The Catalina Flying Memorial Ltd

Had just been returned from a lease to the French Protection Civile (the later Sécurité Civile) as F-ZBAZ, which is why it's still carrying their titles. The tricky thing is it has been converted from PBY-6A to PBY-5A which explains the smaller PBY-5A tail.

One of four PBYs operated by Midwest Aviation on northern supply routes. Later it became a water bomber, then in 1997 it was exported to the American Airpower Heritage Flying Museum as N324FA.
