Rear Admiral Lord Louis Mountbatten & his wife flew into the Bay of Islands in a Catalina for a brief visit in early April 1944 before returning to Singapore to oversee the recapture of Burma. I was with my family aboard the Winsome. There were few other boats as there were still wartime travel restrictions and laid mines. The Catalina moored astern of the Winsome in Otehei Bay.
