The proposed site was a forced landing at South meadows farm.

My father was born and bred in the area and has never heard of a plane crash of that type around Belford, although he has many memories:very_drunk: of differant crashes around the Alnwick area.

Hi,

This may be of no connection, but around 5 years ago, I interviewed a chap at Belford (North Northumberland), he could clearly remeber a type of ‘flying boat’ had came down at Belford.
I have so far been unable to prove his tale right or wrong.

Thanks for the replys. As brataccas said it was found on a railway embankment by my father around forty years ago in north northumberland. My guess is it fell off a train carrying scrap years before.

Very unusual window/hatch partially overlapping the blister structure. I would say non-standard to Cats, maybe post WW2 mod. Should be possible to narrow this down to an individual aircraft if you have more background on where it came from? Country of origin would help too.

Interesting looking piece of structure.

Catalina. Can you tell us more about it? Any hint of a history?
