Quiz two

1. I have a counter in WIF
2. I was the first of my type but was soon overtaken by better aircraft
3. I was withdrawn from my principle role after September 1944 (but I continued in other roles thereafter)

2. I took part in both the European and Pacific theatres of war and was involved in some high profile encounters
3. My range was one of my most important features

Quiz five

1. I have a counter in WIF
2. I am known better by my nickname than my real name
3. I took part in a very well known engagement in WWII and, like No.1 above, scored a first

I could be wrong but isnt a Canso a Catalina, just produced in Montreal/candian name for it?
Technicly tho ill give Danlongman full credit for his answer, the plane that the VC recipients flew in is a Canso as i read it, but i could be wrong.

I'm sorry Rasmus, but I have no idea what you are talking about. I have never seen the word Canso before in my life and strongly suggest you are making it up. [;)]

[Walloc]

I most likely are!!!

Canadian Catalinas were named Canso by the Royal Canadian Air Force in accordance with contemporary British naming practice of naming seaplanes after coastal port towns, in this case for the town of Canso in Nova Scotia.
