In June 1942, Costal Command provided 330 (N) Squadron with two Consolidated
Catalina Mk.IIIa amphibians, and by July-August an additional three were added. By the
end of 1942, it was decided that 330 (N) Squadron should move to Oban in Scotland, and
would be equipped with Sunderland flying boats.
FP536 was the last of the 14 Catalina Mk.III that were used by the Royal Air Force,
and is probably the same aircraft that was named «Mjølner» when it arrived at 330
(N) Squadron. The picture is most likely taken at Leuchars in April 1942, before it was
transferred to Iceland.
