Wow, Catalina flying boat. My Maternal Grandfather was a Warrant Officer on those during WW2 in Burma. He was born in India during the final days of the British Raj and Served with the RAF. After the war he came to England and made his living as a Salesman ( my father always said he could sell snow to the eskimoes! but due to his love of gambling he never became wealthy) although he never forgot his Indian heritage. I remember building gliders out of paper and wood with him, and helping him clean his old Indian Lee-Enfield rifle. Looking back, this was probably very illegal
