Hi Flyboy, wreckage found by my father on the embankment of a busy mainline railtrack some forty years ago in North East England.I drilled out rivets to remove skin. Black inner surface puzzles me as all photos of PBY show green interior.
Thanks lads for the replys i will try and get some more identification numbers if possible and post the pics .ps i removed the skinning some years ago and applied some nose art, the camoflage is grey and green, possibly Coastal Command.
