As promised here's a very brief clip of the Catalina, there's no audio, as the wind played havoc with the microphone on my camera. It wasn''t particularly loud, but it was extremely graceful.

Sorry I didn't get any of the Spitfire, although that would have been very small in any video I would have taken.

thought so by the number, but it's had a re-paint, as last time I saw it, it had black and white stripes around the wing roots.

thanks for the video, do you know if it was one of the original PBY's ? (Pby's were made by constilation I think, other companies made them under licence as well) as that would have had Pratt & whitney wasp engines I think, not the best sounding.
