They used to build seaplanes here in Dumbarton, Amelia, but they didn't build one that looked like this. Like you say, it looks like an insect. All the best, Joe

That's a Catalina, one of my several favourite aircraft !

I hadn't looked at it from quite this viewpoint before - and I agree, it does look very much like an insect ...

Many thanks for that. Adrian is normally very good on planes, but he wasn't able to ID this one. I have added a photo of the logo for you.

Aha, I thought it might be a Catalina - I remember building a model kit of one as a child.

The motto ‘Everywhere, anywhere’ fits aviation very well. A very beautiful piece, beautifully captured in the picture.

Danish 721 Squadron Catalina used for search and rescue. Excellent image and a very different view from the usual ones!
