Don, all sorts post here asking for help and its polite to add connected items, its not always clear what a person has seen and how something could be of use. It is also easy for the original poster to sort out what they need and if they hit gold then fine. Otherwise no harm done and better to respond than assume that they have already seen everything. As for the actual content being not reliable well thats a sweeping comment, many on line or book published accounts have parts which are in error and thats where a good research writer knows to check sources if not given. I collect lots of items of aviation interest but not grips….
This account mentions Dungavel RLG http://www.thelivingmoon.com/47broth…Royals_01.html it was also a country house airstrip.RLG relief landing ground. The background to this event is of great interest to many who seek to unravel the truth about what was concealed by governments and dictators at the time and since then. What is clear is that politics then was a very complex affair and remain that way today especially when the fates of many countries are involved. Caught in the middle of the biggest world conflict were millions who never had any choices. So sad and can historians change world views to seek peaceful solutions by highlighting past mistakes?
I suggest also a copy of this magazine could be useful…

If you read my linked article you will find that the close formation is intended and part of the boasting mindset.
and they powered a small French heli…http://www.aviastar.org/helicopters_eng/snias_jinn.php I recall watching them crop spraying land at the East end of Blackpool airport, very noisy.
For background reading…the why and how…https://www.quora.com/How-do-pilots-like-the-Blue-Angels-fly-so-closely-with-such-precision
Cockpit mock-ups made by Prague’s BMZ Air Service supplemented the real Spitfires, only two of which were used in the film. Multiple-Spitfire aerial sequences were either out-takes from Battle of Britain or were cleverly computer-generated. …….EP120 and MV154 flew. Adding to poss confusion is that MH434 flew with Czech pilots in ww2.
This one perhaps, I have no idea of location but there are above water views….https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y7MQ2vutw4U and a HE115 which is in Norway https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oTtJIbk3-Xc
Salvage took place in many of the sheltered sites in regards to flying boats despite listings of losses. In the case of two off Invergordon they were demolished by explosives as they were obstructing a shipping channel. The sites of large ships and aircraft inland and inshore have been found and picked over.Well thats my view from looking at reports over the last 40 years. https://blogs.wessexarch.co.uk/aircraftcrashsitesatsea/about-the-project/
In 2015 the Oshkosh show featured two side by side http://airshowstuff.com/v4/2015/the-many-highlights-of-eaa-airventure-oshkosh-2015/
At least it is undercover and secure.
See from page 50 in the report for info on Catalina and Sunderlands in area http://blogs.wessexarch.co.uk/samphire/files/2016/05/SAMPHIRE-Annual-Report-2014.pdf
The pressure on air charter pilots must be at times stupid, I recall 2 heli crashes in the Uk in recent years where the weather was rubbish but they flew into it. Such a sad ending for all those lives lost. all my high ground wreck visits related to weather issues but those were wartime Losses.
Thats just the march of time….
Perhaps this one…http://www.lochalinedivecentre.co.uk/?p=2437 so try Brize divers..
