I was sitting here ( 3 miles N SEN ) just typing a post on the Southend Vulcan, when I could here some approaching piston engines! A peek out the back door revealed a Catalina 500-800ft below the overcast. 😮
Just wondered where she had been, she was heading North West.

Clacton airshow possibly? Most likely Plane sailing’s machine.

‘a Catalina’ or ‘THE’ Catalina? Are we talking about Plain Sailing’s white PBY-5A or was this another one? :confused:
