| Natter and Cat I posted these in the museum area http://www.ww2aircraft.net/forum/war...-fl-19146.html (Fantasy of Flight-FL) but I thinks these pics are so cool they merit a post here too. Mods will delete thread if they dont agree. I've seen many Cats but none in this color scheme... beautiful! I nearly shat myself when I saw the Natter. it was behind a rope that said "No Admittance" amd up some stairs. I asked one of the museum dudes and he was kind enough to give me some special access.

| I've worked on that very same Cat. It flew up to Alaska and back the year I was involved with it.

In the words of one of the guides "That Cat needs a lot of help!". looked like the Port-side engine was spraying oil. . | |

That plane was a fire bomber that came from Spain. The guys I worked for was barely able to keep it safe for flight. The guy that initally bought it from him found some corrosion (imagine that) and they had a pissing contest for awhile. Some money was returned and all was happy. It flys well but is a but rough.
