Not mine but I believe the later PBY's had two of these.

About 15 years ago I was driving my 1964 VW bus north up CA Highway 1 
toward San Francisco when out the port window I saw an unusual aircraft 
flying south close in to the coast and at low altitude.When we passed 
each other I was on a high point and we were about at eye level to each 
other.It was an all white PBY Catalina! I was amazed to see this flying 
along side me as it is one of my favorite types of WWII. One of my 
father's best friends flew PBY and then PBM in the PTO.I waved and he 
waggled and on we went.Pretty cool...

We are looking for a Navy GO-9 Transmitter for a restored, flying U.S. 
Navy PBY-5A. It does not have to work. It is for display only. We are 
also looking for RU receivers.

Thank you
