A nicely composed shot (not that I'm an expert....?)

One of the many highlights for many people at the Tauranga Air Show was the Catalina, which came and went all day - beautiful to watch...

I'm pleased you brought the Catalina KC , is she all i said it was or you have some reservations , you have to run it as realistic as possible , i think a DC-3 with the same engine management would be supreme .

Agreed. Would love to be able to "fly" the Warbirds DC-3 with full engine control (as in Accusim).
