Used to connect Australia with Sri Lanka during World War II. Known as the Double Sunrise service as the sun rose twice during the non-stop flights that lasted up to 32 hours. G-AGID scuttled near Rottnest Island on January 30, 1946. When explosives failed to sink it, gun fire was used. G-AGID had flown to its final resting place because a bridge prevented it being towed there. That meant making it airworthy again for its final flight. The Catalinas has been retired when Liberators took over the route. Photo from: Hudson Fysh Collection/ State Library of New South Wales

Provided by the RAF during World War II for Qantas to operate non-stop flights between Australia and Sri Lanka (Ceylon). At the end of the war, the RAF ordered G-AGFM scuttled, not scrapped. A bridge over the Swan River prevented it being towed to sea. So the RAF ordered the aircraft by made airworthy again. On February 26, 1946 it was flown to the sea near Rottnest Island where it was sunk with explosives. Except for a wingtip float which had detached and drifted off. It had to be dispatched with a tomahawk. Photo from: Hudson Fysh Collection/State Library of New South Wales

Provided by the RAF during World War II for Qantas to operate non-stop flights between Australia and Sri Lanka (Ceylon). At the end of the war, the RAF ordered G-AGFM scuttled, not scrapped. A bridge over the Swan River prevented it being towed to sea. So the RAF ordered the aircraft by made airworthy again. On February 26, 1946 it was flown to the sea near Rottnest Island where it was sunk with explosives. Except for a wingtip float which had detached and drifted off. It had to be dispatched with a tomahawk. Photo from: Hudson Fysh Collection/State Library of New South Wales

This WWII aircraft was installed with a Canadian Electromagnetic mapping system at Essendon Airport. In effect it was a huge "flying metal detector". Capable of detecting ore bodies and general resistivity mapping for aquifers etc.

This PBY-5 is wrongly identified as c/n 9757 in the CCAR. It was in the RCAF as tail 9757 with c/n 21986 and when captured here was owned by Can-Air Services of Edmonton. In 1986 it was wrecked during a water landing at Maui/HI.

Had just been returned from a lease to the French Protection Civile (the later Sécurité Civile) as F-ZBAZ, which is why it's still carrying their titles. The tricky thing is it has been converted from PBY-6A to PBY-5A which explains the smaller PBY-5A tail.
