This beautiful example of a Consolidated Canso (the Canadian name for a Canadian-built example of the PBY-5A Catalina) was on display at the 2017 Edmonton Air Show, Canada and long-term supporter of SEAWINGS, Canadian-based Chris Eldridge - aka 'Dogsbody' on the SEAWINGS Flying Boat Forum was on-hand with his digital camera to shoot this beautiful walk-round to share with us all. This Canso is operated by the Fairview Aircraft Restoration Society (FARS) who are dedicated to the restoration of this historic World War II patrol bomber, formerly known as RCAF 11094.
