Pby Catalina ... a time capsule??

Posted by peter on Wed May 01, 2002 10:00:51 PM

Does anyone know if the ex rcaf PBY catalina is still sitting in the hanger at Gananoque Ontario?? It is still in rcaf markings since it was retired in the 60s and was never converted to water bomber config. The chap that owned her was from Edmonton Alberta and once a year had a local farmer tow her out of the hanger and he would do his preflight and then ground run her then reinhibit the motors and put her back in the hanger...It was offered to a canadian museum years ago but they werent interested!!!!!
