Hi Planedriver, i have folloed the progress of VH-CAT closely. It's good to see yet another PBY head down under,from a total of zero flyable Cats you have at least three. VH-PBZ being the only one that flies regulaly i think. As for Biggin Hill yes the last Air Show was two years ago,it would be nice to see the AirFair back as i used to go all the time as kid. I have had a few trial flights down at Shoreham over the years two memorable ones were in a Piper Cub [yellow of course], and one aerobatic experience in a Tiger Moth. Both very enjoyable for different reasons. I need to mow the lawn to find the mower! regards stangman

Hi guys thanks for the welcome. I do not fly due to medical reasons,but as i said i am a lifelong aviation enthusiast. I live in the south-east of the UK a couple of miles south of London Gatwick Airport in a town called Crawley [oh how i wanted to say Alice ! Great film BTW].I have a wife and two grown up children. As an addendum to my introduction my two most favoured aircraft are the P-51 and the almighty PBY-5a Catalina. regards stangman
