AFAIK I wrote about this particular a/c in the forum but cannot find where. It was for export for GB (don't remember RAF or FAA) but was either returned or never delivered and than used by the USN. I think I was explaining that not all Canadian Catalinas are Cansos, even being used by RCAF or being manufactured in Canada. Cansos are only the ones ordered by the Canadian Government. There were Catalinas from GB deliveries transferred to Canada (similar to the one above). Those remained Catalinas even though in RCAF service. I think I had the serials and the type (Catalina IV maybe?) of that particular batch. If somebody finds the post, please re-post it here.
