at Edinburgh RAAF Base Adelaide.

P-3C Orions of Patrol Squadron VP-30 "Sea Hawks" at their NAS JAX home base with 157318 nearest in the line-up.

A9-759 was later converted to an AP-3C, with an enhanced electronic suite and radar. The "759" in the serial is a reference to US Navy serial 160759. It is the way the US Government processes foreign military sales but A9-759 was delivered new from the Lockheed factory to the RAAF in December 1978.

Decommissioned and preserved at the now-closed Naval Air Museum Barbers Point, this aircraft still bears the commemorative logo of VP-6 "Blue Sharks" on its tail, a retro paint scheme that was applied for the Centennial of Naval Aviation.

Sold to the German Navy as 60+01.

From Patrol Squadron 4 based at Oahu, Hawaii.

The former Bu No. 160754 joined the RAAF 27.5.78 seen here on a rare visit to the UK while with 10 Sqdn before the marks were toned down. On 26.4.91 she ditched in a lagoon in the Cocos Islands just off the beach. Attempts to drag the aircraft out of the water failed and the wreck was cut up and eventually dumped at sea, although Air Force personnel made several visits for about a year to retrieve parts. The nose was initially preserved on the islands and the tail became a memorial back at RAAF Edinburgh
