| Thanks Charles, I dont know if this manual will ever be complete but at least its easier to read. The web page doesnt have all the pages but even if it did or does post them later Im only about half way with it. Its taken me alot long then I thought it would. Paul (Micdrow)

| Consolidated PBY Catalina Hello: I have just joined the site since I am starting as a volunteer with maintaining and running the PBY at Duxford, UK. For all I know, being a beginner you may well be talking to my colleagues already! However to help me understand the PBY I have downloaded the erection manuals on your site..it will give me a good grounding in the peculiarities of the plane before I actually get my hands on it! Thanks a million Regards David |

| The Catalina Thanks for the warm welcome to the site. I am newcomer to the Cat, but have I think started well; one days work only so far, but the Cat is now in the hangar at the Imperial ar Museum site at Duxford and we are starting the winter stripdown and structural checks including NDT. Maybe I can keep you all posted on progress. Ifyou would like more details look at catalinabookings.org.uk David |
