Thanks, Greg, but, NOPE!

It is the Martin PB2M-1, later, JRM-1, Mars I was thinking of.  You guys
have the last five of these titanic craft.  See

That "Canso" name doesn't sit right with me, as I know the PBY by its USian
nicknames.  Glad the old bird is still pulling her weight.  These are fine
aircraft.
