Consolidated Catalina 'P'

This section of the Aviation Collection contains a photographic tribute to a unique reconnaissance aircraft, the Consolidated Catalina and one in particular, namely, Catalina 'P'.

The aircraft featured here, Catalina 'P', met with it's untimely demise when it sank in the Solent, U.K. shortly after these photographs were taken during the Festival of Flight 1998 held at the National Museums of Scotland, Museum of Flight, East Fortune Airfield, East Lothian, Scotland over the weekend of 18 and 19 July 1998. The aircraft has subsequently been raised and is being restored. It was wearing the colour scheme of the Scottish Victoria Cross recipient John Cruickshank who flew Catalinas during World War II against the German U-Boats.

The photographs featured here were taken on 18 July 1998.
