The Cat was spotted overflying Inverness, so it looks like she's off the loch and on the way back home (via Inverness).

Not quite, it landed at Tatenhill airfield and should go to Duxford today.

A video popped up in my You tube recommended list that documents the events of the Catalina at Loch Ness.

It's well worth a watch. :thumbsup:
