Cathay Pacific Consolidated PBY-5a Catalina, registration VR-HDT, "Miss Macao". Textures only, requires the base model SPBY5A.ZIP. Cathay Pacific VR-HDT was one of two Catalina amphibians bought in Manila by Cathay Pacific and chartered to the Macao Air Transport Company (MATCO), for trading between Hong Kong's Victoria Harbour and the nearby Portugese colony of Macao. On 16 July 1948, ten miles from Macao, a Chinese criminal named Chio Tok fired a .38 bullet into the base of Captain Dale Cramer's skull, and 'Miss Macao' crashed into the Pearl River Estuary with the loss of all passengers and crew save one. A bungled gold bullion robbery, this was the first recorded hijack of an aircraft for material gain. Aircraft by Mike Stone, textures by Henry William with refinements and CPA markings by Mark Beaumont.
