Yes Peter,the P3 is such a fantastic aircraft for our defence force! be years before it goes-that wedgetail certainly has issues! the U.S came out to help with search of W.A for MH 370,but soon went home as the hybrid 737 was completely useless.
Good old Orion never missed a beat! apparently they can can be run for 24 hrs in air-on one engine,when needed-how amazing are they! Our poor defence forces will have lots completely useless aircraft for the next few decades ahead.:
