 (denehy) Recent
information contributed by Ragnar J. Ragnarsson indicates that FASRON-77
operated PBY-6A BUNO 64069 from Feb 1954 until May 1955. The plane's side
number, 069, shows this to be that aircraft, which would have been used for SAR.
According to John Denehy, the aircraft was also used for liaison/logistical runs
("boondoggles") to various places around the Mediterranean.
