"Stray cat in the neighborhood... "

Nice neighborhood!

Are they going to put a turret on the nose?

I hear another flying collection bought a PBY...anyone else hear that?
I don't mean to be a gossip, but the owner way trying to keep it quiet until the deal was finalized...which he expected any time...but that was a year ago. I assume the deal went through, but don't know for a fact.

It would seem so - it has been stated by Collings and repeated numerous times over that it will be returned to wartime configuration and paint scheme.
