I'll be interested to see what is going to replace the P3's. More P3's
or will they look at Nimrod again?


A lot of forces operate the P-3 so the issue is not unique to the RAAF.
Where are you going to get at least equal capbility when it's time to
replace them.

Boeing looked at doing a Nimrod job on the 757 but nobody would pay for
the development. I wonder if there is sufficient development in the
E-10A to make a "P-10" worthwhile?

Lockmart have looked at an ASW version of the C-130J. Could they even
build more Orions?

Perhaps the P-7 could be revived?

Cheers
David
