This aircraft is widely quoted, also officially, as CV-332, but this is not correct. It is in fact a composite aircraft constructed in 1950 by Aero Corp. (Atlanta, GA), using the fuselage of OA-10A 44-34085 c/n CV-596 (which is this aircraft's correct identity). But when in Sep 1950 it was officially registered as N1933M, it was given the fictitious c/n 332 (later changed to CV-332). Since then this error was copied for all its subsequent identities: TF-RVR, CF-FKV, F-WMKS, French Navy 32 and CC-CDT. C/n 332 was RAAF Catalina A24-16 (w/o 10 Apr 1943) and c/n CV-332 was USAAF OA-10A Catalina 44-33880 (w/o 18 May 1945). It seems very unlikely that any part of either aircraft was used in the construction of this Catalina.

To be VH-XFC.

I did not expect to see this one arriving. The biggest private jet I have seen at KPSP. The registration is almost invisible. I guess its billionaire owner wants to travel incognito.

On lease to Air Niugini from Icelandair.

In storage at Shannon, having been returned to ILFC. Subsequent operators were FlyGeorgia and Ural Airlines.

Ferried Madrid-Shannon on 6 September 2001and used for fire and rescue training until 2018, when it was scrapped on-site.
