Anyone know why the HARS Catalina was in Kununurra yesterday?

Grumman?

Hey All,

There was a Grumman Goose brought into the country this year.
Has round engines and from underneath would be close at a glance.
Apart from the red and white paint job.

Cheers,

I'm willing to accept that it may have been the Mallard. Somewhat similar and from underneath many aircraft look black.

Look black!!! You have earnt more black looks than up Todd Street, XXX. Go and stand in the corner. You will do penance for your Mallardy, giving rise to ill founded rumours, causing a flurry among Catalina tragics across the globe and failing to distinguish between a pair of R1830s and two PT6s.

I think you may have seen/heard a Caribou.

Round Engines

There's a "bou" chugging around here as part of the Pitch Black game but I dunno if it's been as far as Kunnas. Would explain the engine note but not the profile.
I believe that one of Pearls Mallards has still got recips but that may be old news.

Have seen two Caribou's parked in Darwin, and have heard them operating down in that area. From a distance they could look like a "Cat" and certainly would sound like one.
I understand that all the Mallards are now PT6 powered.
