There is no concrete evidence that the airframe mentioned above is the same one as that at Lake Boga - but interesting reading at - http://www.adf-serials.com.au/research/catalinaA24-30.shtml. |

Reply from the Lake Boga Museum -we believe that our aircraft is A24-30. It was a Dutch aircraft seconded to the RAAF in 1942 and given A24-30 as its number. we used to have its original make disc on the dash. It spent most of its Australian service at 3OTU Rathmines we believe. I hope that this helps. David Mark. |
