RE: PBY6A CATALINA
As you may have heard the PBY CAT purchased by The Catalina Flying Memorial Ltd has suffered an engine failure in Portugal and is now awaiting an engine change before being ferried to Australia.
It is hoped that it will be here well before the end of the year and that our Chief Pilot and Captain will be a buccaneer by the name of John “Delay” Daley.
“Delay” will need assistants, co-pilots and helpers and we are hoping to recruit a number of SPA members who may be interested to get an endorsement – so we can eventually do “Adventure Flights” as often as possible.
We are aiming at people like “Jolly Roger” Peters, Hal Griffiths, Graham White, Kevin Bowe, Peter Gash, Bill Lane, Gary Fenelon, Chad Boot and even the President Rob Loneragan.
In addition to aircrew we are going to need ground crew, water crew and engineers, so volunteers are asked to step forward with information on availability and capability. If we don’t get enough volunteers we will resort to conscription! – (But don’t wait for that!)
