I think that's "Miss Pick Up" a WW11 PYB Catalina flying boat that is based at Duxford.

Its a PBY Catalena water plane which also has wheels, used ww2 at Enniskillen to look for german u boats, built in the USA.
Have you any pics with it's reg # Trev is it G-PYBA if so built Oct 43 and only 10 left airworthy. Not many ops to get on one of those. (y)
There is only one airworthy in UK
 
See it flying over couple of times a year, along with Spitfires and Hurricanes(most weeks), I keep meaning to enquire where they are flying to, Duxford is to NE of us, so would be beginning/end of flight, but they are heading/returning from Aylesbury direction.

We were staying on Abingdon whilst the series Masters of the Air was been made a lot of unusual stuff in and out including the B -17G used in Memphis Belle it was all very interesting to be so close up to it all. A
