Warbird Information Exchange

Last year Down Under Aviation News visited the home of the RAAF Maritime Patrol Group at RAAF Edinburgh, Adelaide where 2 events took place - the arrival of new Boeing P-8 aircraft and the winding down of the AP-3C Orion operations was taking place.

These events also brought across 2 very important warbrids - HARS's Catalina and Neptune, so that for the first time ever there were 4 generations of RAAF maritime aircraft on public display. See the coverage at https://downunderaviationnews.wordpress ... -3c-orion/

Great story! Has anyone there considered converting the retired P-3s into air tankers?

All right, Mister Dorfmann, start pullin'!
Pilot: "Flap switch works hard in down position."
Mechanic: "Flap switch checked OK. Pilot needs more P.T." - Flight report, TB-17G 42-102875 (Hobbs AAF)

Believe they have been largely sold on to another country by Defence Disposals through the normal tender process.
