Very cool. Did a little more investigating; "Accuracy was not a major consideration as its intended target was to be German cities". Hit the right time zone....close enough.

A lot of amazing photos are posted in this thread 
This is a JMSDF flying boat US-2 manufactured by Shin-Meiwa (old Kawanishi Aircraft) dated April 28, 2015 offshore Kohchi Prefecture.
Sorry this is not ww2 photo but looked like a flashback of the day.

The Enterprise sure took a beating that day
Thanks for your care, Capt. Vick
5 out of 19 injured but no dead fortunately.
Good to know. In the end that's all that matters.

Exactly what I thought too. ( BTW, The 'Wheelbarrow' was a device used by Bomb Disposal, for dealing with car bombs in Northern Ireland, and is still used.)
Dave, that's a great shot, and is a 'still' from early WW2 cine film, seen in B&W and later colourised.
