Wow, great atmospheric story David. What was your job there?
Interestingly I have just been reading a story about Catalinas equipped with a pair of JATO bottles on each side, which were fitted post war to aircraft scheduled to go to Macquarie Island. There's a photo of one doing a test take-off from Port Philip Bay. The pilot said it had incredible performance up to about 500' when it returned to being just a Catalina at 90 knots.
