F3G:. .. .I see you are at North Weald.. .. .Yes, the PBY in the hangar is N9521C I ferried it from Johannesburg two years ago, it has been sold to a buyer in Virginia Beach Va. and we will ferry it when the weather over the North Atlantic warms up.. .. .Will be doing some test flying with it at N. Weald this spring as we are changing an engine on it. We flew it for a movie by Merimax last July, it is without a doubt the best PBY restoration left in the world.. .. .The orange PBY parked outside is an ex Avalon Aviation waterbomber a PBY6A. I used to fly it in Canada somewhere around 1975.. .. .By the way flying on water is no big deal, to bad you Brits don't have a floatplane group.. .. .Anyhow maybe I will see you at N. weald in the spring and we can have a coffee at the squadron resturant??. .. .And for some entertainment we can watch some of the Yak 50 guys wrassle with their airplanes trying to land them?? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> . .................. . <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" /> The hardest thing about flying is knowing when to say no. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="biggrin.gif" />
