A truly elegant aircraft, this is currently the only airworthy Catalina in New Zealand, and is lovingly maintained by the Catalina Group of New Zealand. See: http://www.catalina.org.nz/
During the Second World War, the RNZAF operated a total of 56 Catalina flying boats. None of these aircraft were of the amphibious type as is ZK-PBY, but this Canadian built example is (usually) painted to represent one of the flying boats operated in the Pacific Theatre. In part sof this video the aircraft shows a temporary French colour scheme.
