It should be there, someplace, maybe in the grass. All the other photos I
have of this aircraft show the APS-20 radom where iot should be. Maybe somebody cut it off...

They were all flying as water bombers fighting forest fires and looked something like this: http://website.lineone.net/~roling47/Bombers/WBP2a.JPG Wayne http://www.soaridaho.com/

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
