The Rathmines PBY 5A Catalina “Our Girl” – From Ebay to Australia.

So you're wanting a PBY Catalina for a memorial display, do you just pop down to the local airport and hopefully find one on sale? No. You try Ebay and find one over 16,000km away to buy….. 

This is how the Australian based Rathmines Catalina Memorial Park Assoc Inc ended up with a static PBY-5A Catalina in early 2013 for its future museum where it intends to honour and recognize the heroism of the RAAF Catalina crews in WW2.
