There's a museum at Duxford for the PBY and this might be theirs.

Catalina? U boats must be misbehaving once again

Might be the Canso A flown by the [Catalina Society](https://www.catalina.org.uk/our-catalina-g-pbya/) out of Duxford.

If this was spotted Saturday or yesterday (Sun 15th) then yes, it probably was. It was flying at the Duxford Battle of Britain airshow. Unfortunately I didn't manage to get a decent photo due to the extremely overcast skies over Duxford on Sunday afternoon.

Having U-boat sightings once again?

There's an attempt being made to have the Catalina resurrected.

It's a Catalina for the Duxford Battle of Britain air show (strongly recommend it, I was there on Saturday and not only is Duxford awesome, the air show was extremely good, including 1/3 of the world's airworthy Spitfires, the only airworthy B-17 in Europe, etc)

Looks like it could possibly be a diamond DA42 twin star aircraft.

Looks like a Catalina to me.
