When I saw the 2 geese in the company logo, I remembered I've seen this "bird" earlier. Below is a photo from my archive (copied from the internet) of two Alaska Coastal Ellis Airlines PBY-5A's (the above one is the second behind):

The colours of the company are very nice BTW.

This negative is flipped as the anchor cable across the nose should be on the other side as it goes up to the anchor box.

Only reason I know about the cable is that I have been helping restore a PBY back to WWII config, and had to mount phenolic plates where the cable runs so it doesn't wear through the aircraft skin. The cable is shackled just in front of the nose gear door and runs up to the port side near the nose section so a crew member can open the anchor box and throw out an anchor.
