This documentary chronicles a high-stakes rescue mission involving a rare World War II Catalina flying boat stranded on Scotland's Loch Ness in 2020. When an engine failure leaves the aircraft vulnerable to the harsh elements and the loch's notorious weather, the owners embark on a desperate six-week battle against time, finances, and logistical challenges to save the plane. The film captures the urgency of repairing the airworthy 'Miss Pickup' before it succumbs to the depths. Blending stunning aerial and landscape footage of the Loch with the compelling history of the Catalina and its wartime role in Scotland, the narrative offers a fascinating look at preservation efforts against formidable odds. It's a testament to human ingenuity and determination in the face of potential loss.
