Earlier this week on Tuesday i got in touch with the Qantas Founders Museum in Queensland, Australia regarding their Catalina project for an up coming story i am writing and in doing some further research about the QFM Catalina … i have come across some interesting news.
According to what the museum has posted on online…. the news seems to indicate that another Lockheed Constellation is hopefully coming to Australia later this year to the QFM museum. It has been a long term project and known for a while in aviation circles in Australia.
As shown on the QFM facebook page…
“Qantas Founders Museum, Longreach, Queensland ASAP – We are hoping to start to make her (Catalina) look pretty again in the next few months but… a ‘Connie’ has come onto our radar and that might take priority.”
We will all have to wait and see what happens……
