Nice Col. Regards to P3 Orion, About 40yrs ago I was a deckhand on a crayfishing boat working out of Robe S.A. We were about 20 miles off the coast pulling a craypot when there was a massive roar and I literally threw myself on the deck thinking our motor was going to explode or something. It was a P3 Orion that flew over the top of us not much higher than our radar mast. Scared the absolute crap out of us. As I got back on my feet watching the P3 it gave it's wings a waggle and disappeared into the distance still flying incredibly low. I can imagine the pilots thinking it was a great lark. My boss laughed at me for ages. It's a great memory still.
Cheers, Richard.
