TF-ISK
Consolidated PBY-5A Catalina
(c/n 81)
In addition to its DC-3s
Flugfelag also operated three Catalinas (TF-ISJ and TF-ISP were the
others) to
outlying communities whose only access was by water. My Icelandic
correspondent
Olafur
Sigurdsson indicates that the Icelandic CAA has the c/n on this
aircraft as 81, being ex
Bu05005 and
RAF Catalina Mk. III FP532, and I will bow to their judgment on
this. My own
records stated
that its c/n was 504. Note DC-4 type tail prop. TF-ISK was
withdrawn from
use in 1958,
de-registered in 1961 and broken up at Reykjavik.
