NZ's only airworthy Catalina Flying boat up for sale From First Up, 5:47 am today
New Zealand's only airworthy Catalina Flying boat is up for sale and a group of volunteers is trying to raise money to keep it in the country. The plane - built in Canada in 1944 - has been in New Zealand for 28 years and has struggled to earn its keep after a couple of years of not being able to attend airshows and fly tourists.. Businessman Neil Young is leading a syndicate hoping to buy the 78 year old flying boat, he spoke with First Up producer Jeremy Parkinson.
