Consolidated PBY5a Catalina

ZK-PBY

oops

Taken at Rukuhia, Easter, 1995. I had seen this aircraft once before - as it flew over Hamilton. It was great to get up close. This image, taken from the rear of the aircraft shows the size of the 'blister' port, and gives some idea of the resulting span of visibility.
