Catalina A24-104 and A-20 "Hell'N Pelican
II" Unfortunately, because of the planned airshow (cancelled
due to security issues the day after I visited), the remains of
the other A-20 were removed to clean the place up a bit.
Catalina Restoration Update
September 2001 When I visited, the fuselage
looked complete, although the wings were removed for display at
the Amberley airshow (cancelled) and because they would not fit
inside the hangar. While speaking to Dennis, he said something
about the RAAF Museum cutting funding to the project because it
was taking too long and that the restorations at Amberley were
being shut down. The Cat now is unknown to me. I think it's being
sent to the RAAF Museum at \, whether to be completed or just
put into storage ... I don't know. It's pretty dissapointing,
especially considering how far it has gone.

Catalina moving to Point Cook
