N4760C PBY-5A Catalina - a photo on Flickriver

            This well-travelled Catalina was seen on both sides of the Atlantic in the 1970s; this image seems to be have been taken in the US, as the light aircraft all bear US registrations.

N4760C was originally intended for the US Navy as a PBY-5A but was diverted to the USAAF instead as an OA-10.  Post-military life it served as both a passenger-carrying aircraft in, amongst other places, Alaska and then as a geophysical survey aircraft with Geoterrex.  It was modified to have Wright R-2600 Cyclone engines and eventually came to the end of its flying career in a crash-landing in Wisconsin in March 1983.  It was acquired by the McChord Air Force Base Museum in Washington State where it was restored to military configuration and USAAF markings with false serial 44-34033.
