Where's this?
Looks like a nice "new" Catalina in the background.

It's the Imperial War Museum at Duxford: http://duxford.iwm.org.uk/

A marvellous place, with many aircraft on show, plus active warbirds and
hangars where you can see restoration work being done. Current
activities include a CR.42, Beaufighter and P-47G. They have several air
shows each year, and it's less than 45 minutes from here.

Here are two more shots of the Catalina, taken in 2006. One of these
days, when I've nothing else to do, I'll post some more Duxford photos.
Perhaps if someone gives me a Round Tuit at Christmas.



Here ya' go, now........
Like to see more of that Catalina

Thank you. I shall put it in a Safe Place until I can use it. That will
be after I've installed our WiFi router, installed Win 7 on this PC and
SWMBO's, plugged a few more gaps in the walls to stop the draughts,
etc., etc.

Meanwhile, just to keep you happy:


Well thank you Peter, I also saw where this is actually a Canso. And I
like it!!
