Good Grief! Surprised there are any trees left - or are the others steel?
The Air Museum Hangar was certainly used for anti-submarine patrols, I
read about it somewhere. I think they have a Catalina there. I used to
have a thing about Catalinas... and a Messerschmitt, if memory serves, a
109.
The Spruce Goose, eh? Worth a trip if you live over there, I'd say.
