Felix the Black Cat.
Acquired by Historic Aircraft Restoration Society (HARS) from Spain and transported to Sydney in 2003. This aircraft was painted in the markings of PB2B-2 Catalina VI A24-362 / OX-V / "Felix" operated by RAAF 43 Squadron in Darwin in 1945 for air sea rescue tasks.
Actually quite hard to photograph successfully whilst flying as the midnight blue when in shadow is very contrasty against the blue sky.
