While googling I came across this old accident report
http://www.warbirdregistry.org/pbyregistry/pby-68013.html
Interesting in how the two crew extricated themselves from the aircraft, at least I thought so.

The identity of this Catalina is mis-quoted on the website referred to. Often stated as a Canadian Vickers-built OA-10A c/n CV-560, USAAF 44-34049 (including, it has to be said, in my book on Peacetime Catalinas), research by the late-Ragnar Ragnarsson showed that it was in fact a Consolidated San Diego-built PBY-5A c/n 560 ex-BuAer02963. The FAA register quoted the c/n correctly.
