A Video of some of the New Planes in ETO 1.30

Ah, if only my garage was a bit bigger... I'd still enjoy shooting Hulot down, verbally as much as physically.

Unfortunately, the Catalina that was used in his TV series is not flying anymore. It is at Orly.Two years ago, 2 specialists came to bring it back to airworthy condition, they changed engines (they used a spare of the C47 Air France-KLM if I remember well) and spent several weeks working on this bird. I've been in this aircraft a couple of time during this period.
Unfortunately, due to lack of $$$ from the owner I suppose, they had to stop. Then, she has to left the hanger where she was with the B17 'Pink Lady' and the DC3 of Le Ferté (the red end white one) because a new hanger is being build at the same place for a maintenance company.

This is the only airworthy Catalina in the world that has a confirm kill on a U Boote. It also nearly sunk during WWII but it survived!

The Pink Lady and the C47 found good places elswhere but unfortunately, the Catalina is outside at Orly, taking dust, rain, snow, sun and whatever since about two years now... I can see her nearly everyday going badly and badly, it's a real pain.... :frown:
