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.

IIRC, it's actually a Canso done up as a Catalina.
