Abandoned Catalina – 50 years later
September 8th, 2009
A fascinating pictorial of a PBY-5A Catalina flying boat abandoned since 1960 in Saudi Arabia when it was attacked by accident. The aircraft was purchased from the US Navy by Thomas W. Kendall who was flying around the world with his family, secretary and her son.
Today she rots on the beach and is clearly visible in Google Maps.
