PBY/Canso
Here are a few shots from my collection of PBY/Cansos Taken in their natural setting ! The picture date back to 1984 and the anniversary crossing of the Atlantic by the PBy and the Canso. The Canso ultimately crashed on its arrival in the UK.
I think both aircraft are still owned by W(Connie) Edwards in Texas.

Thanks for the contributions chaps.
Anyone game to guess the Cats I’ve posted? Or shall I just number them off? Feel free to ‘vote’!
Any more? Can we get a good sample of the World’s Catalinas?
Cheers

Hi Arthur,
A clue – the pic is taken in australia, and the a/c type in question is better known without a pilot…
If you haven’t got it by tomorrow pm, (UK time) I’ll tell ya!
Cheers

James (or anyone else),
On pic 9 (with the green Cat) there is a dodgy little jet-like thingie in the upper right corner, behind the Harvard’s wing. Any clues as to what that is?
TIA.

Damn right James – and we must remember that the sole surviving Supermarine Southampton is here today because someone bought it and did a very similar thing to it!

15) But in the end, you come back to white…
Anyone able to call ALL those Cats?

14) Or if looking for sponsorship, you’ve really got to have a fag company, and a snazzy scheme…
By: JDK - 24th April 2004 at 11:42
13) If you don’t like white, overall silver anyone?
By: JDK - 24th April 2004 at 11:40
12) But then you can go for sponsorship. Dan Dare anyone?

11) Sometimes it’s too early for paint.
