An interesting report on the end of this RAF Catalina called ‘Katie’ on Diego Garcia in 1944.

There are no complete ex-RAF Catalinas surviving. The nearest you can get is the sectioned hull of FP216 that is on display at NAS Pensacola Florida. This did not see operational RAF service but remained in the USA for training aircrew during WWII.

Would this be the last surviving(!) RAF Catalina, or are there others?
