Many thanks, Graeme. Funnily enough I went to Sealand several times when I was an Air Cadet. Of course by then it was simply a maintenance depot with no flying taking place.

Kindda like "I was looking for one specific book...but then this other one caught my eye and I just had to!", right?

Yeah...I know. Weak willed like the rest of us. Then again, I've always had a soft spot for seaplanes and floatplanes. There's just something about them...just cool-looking.

Found this as a photo caption (Could she have been sitting there for 18 years and look this good? I doubt it, but the quality of the photo speaks 1960's to me.):

Found this on F-BAIY (Confirms post above):

+1. Always fancied doing the bird that pootled around the Philippines in 1942 doing some amazing work under very dangerous circumstances.
