This superb walk-round has been very generously donated by our long-time Canadian correspondent and fellow flying boat enthusiast, Alex Norton who paid a visit to what looks like a very hot March Field Air Museum at Riverside, California and braved the sun beating down to bring us these highly detailed images. Our grateful thanks goes to Alex for sharing these with us. Now, who's for a cold beer in the museum  shop!
