An ex Spainish Catalina water bomber now registered as VH-EAX departed from Spain in October 2009 heading for Oz.
The flight stalled in Kolkata, but finally she’s now heading down Malaysia again.
The full story (it’s a long one!) is told over on the PPRUNE historic forum:
Please note this is a thread merged with an earlier Catalina delivery flight (N160AT/ VH-CAT) and the second flight starts on page 4.

The flight of VH-EAX can be viewed on Spot Live-

For some reason I always find it thrilling to track a delivery flight ….as it’s happening.
