Neptune at Dubbo

It sure had a radome when it was old LG-11 from VP-18. I'm not sure I follow you there on this one. This particular airframe was delivered new to the RAAF in '62. Interestingly trivia time the RAAF bought this Neptune as 61-49079 from the USAF. At the time, foreign air forces couldn't buy aircraft directly from the manufacturers, but had to go through the relevant service. When they were replaced, the Orions were purchased through the USN. -- Cheers Dave Kearton
