RE: [cactuswings 3879] REQ: ID of PBY catalina fuselage stored amongst the airlines at Mojave.

Hi all,

 

N68756 was in the storage/restoration area at Pima Air & Space Museum for a long time. I was given access to the area in March and was told that it was stored on behalf of the plane's Australian owners and that it would be shipped to them 'eventually'. I heard it was subsequently moved to Mojave, so I guess it's not going now.

Regards,

Steve.

I know the one you mean.

I think it was dealing with the remaining hulks at Tucson/Pima.

 

Cheers

I can't find it now (in another list, but searching Yahoo without a message numebr is not easy), but the conclusion there was that it was one of two ex RCAF Cansos, but even Pima didn't know which.

Noted on 18/10/2017 (from photo) was an all metal PBY/Catalina fuselage dumped/parked near the Gulfstream breaking area at Mojave.
Under the wing of an ex QANTAS 747.

I cannot find any reference to this in recent reports.
Any ideas??

Thanks
Geoff
