This aircraft is painted in the colours that flown by FL Jack Cleland (RNZAF) in the 8th USAF, 357 FG, 361 FS during WWII. There appears to be some confusion in the previous identities of this airframe, possibly arising from rebuild after a crash in 1977, although she was built in 1944 and delivered to the USAF as 44-73415.

This Hornet was built in 1943 at Augsburg and then captured in 1945 at Vaerlose, Denmark. After the war ended it was transferred to the UK for evaluation and eventually selected for preservation so fortunately is now on display at the RAF Museum Cosford.

This PBY has now been moved to a new outside hardstand at Cosford to free up space for the incoming arrivals from Hendon. It was completed in April 1945 at the new Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corporation (Convair) factory at New Orleans for delivery to the USN as 63993. From Dec. 57 to Jul. 70 it served with the RDAF and is now on display at the RAF Museum.

Correct serial is XN962. This aircraft was delivered to the Royal Navy during July 1964 and served at Lossiemouth until 1970. Thereafter she was transferred to St. Athan and allocated the Maintenance serial 8181M before being moved to PEE (Proof & Experimental Establishment) at Foulness 1986. Unfortunately the axeman came calling and she was broken up in 1992, although the nose section has at least survived and is now on display at Cosford.
