Many years ago, I had the pleasure of standing right here in the San Diego Air and Space Museum, located in Balboa Park, San Diego, underneath this superbly restored and displayed PBY-5A; and it really does look as good as these recent images taken by our Canadian correspondent, Alex Norton, whilst on another of his travels.

Whilst being 'pole-mounted' may not appeal to some enthusiasts, it does allow us to observe areas of the 'boat that otherwise would not be as readily available to the casual observer. At least it's out of the elements in a place where it's going to be cared for and looked after for future generations to walk around. Meanwhile, until you pay it a visit, enjoy these fabulous images from Alex. Many thanks, Alex.
