CATALINA

CONSOLIDATED PBY-5A/6A CATALINA

This page represents two versions of the PBY, one with the New Zealand Catalina Preservation Society (NZCPS) and the other with the Historical Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS) in Australia. In January 2020 I had the chance to photograph the wonderfull PBY Catalina (ZK-PBY), from the NZCPS over the river city of Wanganui. My sincere thanks to Dee Bond and Neil Young for the chance to shoot from their Cessna 180 camera ship, plus Lawrence Acket and Brett Emeny from the NZCPS. All photos © Jon Davison 2020.
