Neptune at Dubbo

This looks like the photo recon version with the zillion candlepower
strobes in the wing tips. Rare bird. The Mohawk had a similar system
only the strobe light was under the fuselage.
Nope! Just the standard 30 million candle power, copilot controlled,
searchlight mounted on the starboard side only.
It's a standard SP-2H of the RAAF. There is a photo of its sistership
number 81 on page 240 of Wayne Mutza's "Lockheed P2V NEPTUNE, An
Illustrated History"
