N1386C / 44 (cn 426-5268) Neptune Aviation's P-2E "44" suffered brake failure while taxiing to the apron after landing. Ran off the taxiway and through a chain link fence, before coming to rest down the shoulder of 120th Ave. Fortunately, there were no injuries. The aircraft was fighting a fire in Rocky Mountain National Park. |

A89-307 / 7 (cn 426-5088) Rare photo of 11 Squadron RAAF Neptune P2V-5 A89-307 doing a Zoom Climb, using its Cyclone recips and Westinghouse J-34 jet engines during a 'farewell' display flight at the 1968 RAAF Laverton Airshow. This aircraft was delivered to the RAAF in January 1953, and was broken up at Bankstown in November 1968 (just months after this photo was taken). Sadly, Sister-Ship A89-308 crashed near Richmond 50 years ago (on 05Feb1959) with the loss of all eight crew members (RIP). |

A89-302 (cn 426-5021) A weather-worn P2V-5 Neptune (formerly numbered A89-595) survives at RAAF Base Wagga in 1987. This aircraft was delivered to the RAAF in November 1951. Sadly, Sister-Ship A89-308 crashed near Richmond 50 years ago (on 05Feb1959) with the loss of all eight crew members. The Neppy was limping back to base with a blazing Port engine, when the wing separated at 50 feet over the Hawkesbury River (RIP). On a lighter note, I photographed Sister-Ship A89-301 at Laverton on April Fools Day 1968 (01Apr1968)! |
