    Exclamation How about another Close Up?

    This looks a bit scary coming straight at you.
    Hope the photographic plane was way faster.

    "PB-Why" are you chasing me?

    Another super photo, Barry!
    I laugh in the face of danger - then I hide until it goes away!

    Never heard of telephoto lenses then Barry?
    Lovely photo though!

    Wow, great shot. Never though about how large the gunner's bubbles were.

    A very dynamic photograph, Barry! You can imagine being a member of a U-Boot crew seeing the Catalina swooping down on an attack run.

    For some reason, I had never thought this plane looked that menacing - this picture certainly changes that idea! Very cool take on the PBY - David's remark about the hapless U-Boot crew is certainly well-taken...

    All the best,
    Matt

    Ok not as cool but here is the photo I have of the PBY at the MAM. I remember having a model of this when I was a kid.

    Looks just as good from that viewpoint but not quite so predatory.
