Consolidated PBY5A Catalina
Walkaround Gallery

Here are Catalina walkarounds of the Point Cook and HARS Catalinas. I believe the Point Cook bird is an RAAF WWII veteran and the HARS airframe is a Canadian built Canso.

The RAAF flew a total of 168 Cats of different marks. Many of them were PBY5A amphibians that then had their landing gear removed to reduce weight and improve range. We have the fuselage of one such Cat at Moorabbin: A24-88. It was being used as a houseboat on the Murray, apparently!
