Well thank you kindly. fortunately I do have my own private flying machine which is quite adequate for perambulating along the Thames.
HD .... your photo reminds me of something very similar .... I was walking the doggie late march 2004 and heard a very slow a/c passing overhead ..... a little after takeoff following refueling after an Atlantic crossing .... looked up and I saw a great big yellow Catalina ...... she was enroute to Duxford and I understand a great deal of work has been done on here since, including a complete paint job .....
here's what she looked like on that day ....
