Dumbo rescue film

[alanw]

Hi All

Check out this cool film posted on Seawings,
featuring RNZAF crews training for on water rescue

The Walrus landing on the water is
magic ;D ;D ;D ;D


I think the part about the control tower at the forward
base "taken over from dishonourable contractors"
is quite funny


I must note the first three minutes is about this,
the last bit is about childrens medical

. . and the part about making crockery.

The mockup fuselage looks to be modeled on an Airspeed Oxford.

The dumbo Catalina XX-R was PBY-5 NZ4015 which survived until retirement in 1951.
