Given the fact that the first PBY Catalina flew in
South Africa
in 1943/4 during World War Two (WWII), a historical and exciting (but also sad)
event is about to unfold at
Rand
Airport
,
Germiston
,
South Africa
. Most likely the very last ever to be seen in South Africa, is about to start
its post restoration test flying before leaving for the USA, to be delivered to
its new owner, Mr. Jim Slattery in San Diego CA.
