Default Swedish Catalinas

As a boy I used to take my bike down to Bromma airport (Stockholm) just to watch my favourite aircraft - the Catalina.

I only know they were three PB 4-54. In service 1947-1966 mainly for sea-rescue.

One was shot down by a Soviet MiG-fighter over International water the Baltic 20 nm off Dagö (Estonia) on June 16th 1952.

Here the crew is heading for the German steamer "Münsterland" wich picked them up.
