The famous Catalina of Villavicencio. Already in 2008 looking very tired. By late 2017 it was moved by road and sea to Germany.

Just took off from the water of the Hoornsche Hop, and is seen here flying in the direction of the town of Hoorn. Photo taken from a RIB (rigid-inflatable boat). Regrettably, after having spent 24 years of its life in the Netherlands, this magnificent aircraft was sold to the Collins Foundation on 11 Oct 2018. It left Dutch waters forever on delivery to the USA on 29 May 2019.

The Flying Hoorn 2015 event was a bit windy, which made for some very nice photos. The Dutch Catalina is seen here settling down on the water of the Hoornsche Hop off Hoorn, at the end of one of several pleasure flights. Photo taken from a RIB (rigid-inflatable boat), a very bumpy and wet ride under these breezy conditions. Regrettably, after having spent 24 years of its live in the Netherlands, this magnificent aircraft was sold to the Collins Foundation on 11 Oct 2018. It left Dutch waters forever on delivery to the USA on 29 May 2019.

Hamilton Reach was Brisbane's water airport until replaced by one at Redland Bay that could better handle Sandringhams. Barrier Reef Airways base was on the southern side of the Brisbane River at Colmsie. VH-BRA was withdrawn from use at Colmsie in Oct 1951 and scrapped a few years later.

NC777 on its second visit to Rose Bay (the first was in November 1938). Qantas installed extra fuel tanks so the aircraft, owned by Dr Richard Archbold, could be used to survey an Indian Ocean air route for the Australian government. In June it island hopped from Port Hedland to Mombasa in Kenya. Guba returned to the US where it was sold to the British Puchasing Commission for use by BOAC. Sunk at its moorings at Pwellheli, Wales, in 1945. The hangar in the photo was for Qantas and completed in October 1939. Demolished after flying boat operations ended at Rose Bay in the 1970s.

NC777 was a pre-war civil version the military Catalina. This was the second Consolidated Model 28 to be registered NC777 and called Guba. The first went to the Soviet Union to search for a missing aviator and stayed. Zoologist Dr Richard Archbold took another aircraft. This Guba was used to explore what was then Dutch New Guinea, now the Indonesian province of Papua. NC777 surveyed an Indian Ocean crossing under contract to the Australian government. Later sold to the UK government and became G-AGBJ with BOAC.

Built for the USN as a PBV-1A and transferred to the USAAF as an OA-10A. After World War II sold to Cathay Pacific as VR-HDH. Transferred to subsidiary Macau Air Transport. TAA bought it as a replacement for VH-WWC which had sunk. Undercarriage removed to increase payload. Withdrawn from use in January 1966. Patair bought -SBV for its engines. Plans to preserve the airframe in Papua New Guinea did not eventuate and it was shipped to the Museum of Transport & Technology in New Zealand. TAA photo.
