Following many years of storage in the UK, this aircraft was restored to flying condition by the Edward Brothers and departed North Weald in May 2004 for delivery to Israel. Unfortunately it developed technical problems and had to make a precautionary landing at Beauvais, France. It remained stranded there for several years, until dismantled and trucked to Antwerp in Feb 2008, for transport by boat to Israel. It finally arrived there in May 2008 and is now preserved at the Israeli Air Force Museum at Hatzerim AB in fake IDFAF markings as "3401" (the real 3401 was c/n 918).

The HARS Cat at Wings Over the Illawarra 2011, newly fitted with blisters and nose turret.

At the end of the RAAF 90th Anniversary Air Pilgrimage, the HARS Cat departed for home, only to return shortly afterwards with a major oil leak. This provoked considerable head-scratching and several phone calls as the engineers tried to solve the problem.

Departing off Runway 18 for base at Wollongong following the Australian International Airshow.

US Navy 46645 built 1945, to N10013 registered May 1956, to CF-IZO registered June 1956, in 1983 reregistered C-FIZO. In 1990 it was sold to the Forsvarsmuseet at Oslo-Gardermoen and later it went to Bodø for display in the Norsk Luftfartsmuseum. As Norway never had the PBY-6A with the tall fin this aircraft was restored in 1994 with the smaller fin of the PBY-5A and painted as RAF FP535 to commemorate the real FP535 that served with 330 (Norwegian) Sqn and that had disappeared in Nov 1942 near Iceland

This aircraft was last operated by Haydn Air Charter (Norway), on lease from Avalon Aviation, then stored at the East Midlands Airport for some considerable time. After almost 20 years of visiting the airport it was the first time I was confronted by the Security and ramp access rapidly became more difficult.
