New Zealand Catalina
Preservation Society Inc
Saving New Zealand's aviation past for
future generations
The Catalina Gap year
As with most events in these Covid Times Airshow Orgnisers are watching their costs and there is no incentive for us to attend.
This does give the team a great opportunity to spend time working to maintain Catalina and be ready for the 2022 season.
A reminder that we are a Registered Charitable Incorporated Society and have Give a Little Page for all Donations

* To preserve, in airworthy condition, a WWII-veteran Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina flying boat, similar to the aircraft operated by the Royal New Zealand Air Force between 1943 to 1953, as an Aviation Heritage project for the community benefit of New Zealand.
The New Zealand Catalina Preservation Society is focused on the preservation and operation of New Zealand's only PBY-5A "Catalina" twin-engine World War Two Canso amphibious flying boat, ZK-PBY. This is one of only a few operational Catalina's left in the world
