The biggest - and certainly the saddest - news this time around concerns the final demise of Plane Sailing's old Catalina G-BLSC/VR-BPS/VP-BPS... (continued below)

Sad I just don't understand purpose of scraping a plane like.that first off because of the history and second it cant be worth more than 5k scrap value which is hardly worth it

It was very sad but can I just emphasise the word 'former' in the subject header. Plane Sailing Air Displays Ltd had not had anything to do with that particular Catalina for many years and its ownership had changed at least twice in the interim. Our existing Catalina (G-PBYA) is very much alive and well and shortly to embark on its 2013 display season.
