Flying boat in spain Grumman ????
Hi wonder if anyone can help please.
I was on holiday in Spain at Roquetas de Mar (by Almeria) 2 weeks ago and was woken from my siesta by what I think was a Grumman flying boat going down the beach at about 50 feet. I only saw it briefly and couldn't get a photo so details are sketchy, definitley small flying boat, twin piston engines sounded like. So I think it's a Grumman of some sort.
It was not a civilian livery but neither military camouflage. It looked like rescue red and yellow.
Anyone give me a clue as to who owns it and what it was doing going so low? There was a regular sweep of the coast area by helicopter and boat looking for illegal immigrants so I presume it was part of that operation. It was a one off visit as well so may have been transiting to another base?
I've done a google search but without a particular aircraft type it's a bit needle and hay stack.
Anyone who lives down there care to give me a clue where to look?
