Consolidated PBY Catalina Mk.I, Z2147 AX-L, of Nº. 202 Squadron RAF based at Gibraltar
While serving with the Squadron, Z2147 was credited with nine successful attacks on enemy submarines.
Consolidated Catalina of the RAF, 1941. The squadron played a part in the sinking of one U-boat during 1942, helping the Royal Navy sink U-74 in the Western Mediterranean on 2 May. The squadron's second and final U-boat sinking came on 13 February 1943 when U-620 was sunk to the north-west of Lisbon by an aircraft providing a convoy escort. 202 squadron was heavily involved in Operation Torch, the Allied invasion of North Africa in November 1942. After a long period of operating almost alone, it began part of a strong force based at Gibraltar. It also played a part in the clandestine operations before the invasion, picking up General Mark Clark on 24 October on his way back from a secret visit to North Africa.

Thank you. I hope you enjoy this Livery :)
One question: do you have an idea how I can get rid of the greasy side window in he default PBY's? The side window in the default plane now appears to be smeared with grease.
Thank you for your effort!
