	The Lockheed P2V Neptune & Martin Mercator
		Lockheed then went on to produce a similar but "bigger and better" ocean patrol aircraft, the "PV-1 Ventura", based on the Lodestar transport, which was basically a stretched Electra with uprated engines.
		Neptunes would be significant participants in secret "ferret" missions around (and sometimes over) the borders of the Soviet Union and other Communist bloc nations to characterize adversary defenses.
		The Neptune was a smaller and simpler aircraft, and Lockheed had spent several years in preliminary design before the Navy committed to the type.

	Lockheed Neptune P2V-7 (A89-273) - VH-IOY
		This aircraft is one of two Lockheed Neptune P2V-7s operated by the Society.
		P2V-7 Neptune A89-273 (later designated SP-2H) was built at Lockheed's Burbank plant in California, USA at a cost of $818,452.33.
		Neptune A89-273 VH-IOY is the only former RAAF Lockheed Neptune flying in Australia and is maintained, operated and crewed by members of HARS who maintain a high degree of maintenance and safety, and continually strive to maintain the aircraft in immaculate condition.

		The Lockheed P-2 Neptune (until 1963 the P2V Neptune) was a naval patrol bomber and anti-submarine warfare (ASW) aircraft for the United States Navy between 1947 and 1978, replacing the PV-1 Ventura and PV-2 Harpoon and being replaced in turn with the P-3 Orion.
		In Japan, the Neptune was license-built from 1966 by Kawasaki as the P-2J, with the piston engines replaced by IHI turboprops.

		Neptune Aviation has been identified by many outside sources as having facilities and maintenance procedures and process that are equal to, or exceeding the best of the FAR Part 121 (airline) standards (see Herlihyâs Submission To The Oversight Hearing on Firefighting Preparedness: Are we ready for the 2004 Wildfire Season on May 13th, 2004).
		In the case of Neptune Aviation, we had two (2) aircraft in the field fighting wildland fire; it was unfortunate that these crews had to continue to operate their aircraft with the knowledge that they would no longer have a contract at the end of the business day.
		In the case of Neptune Aviation we are using a Three (3) to one (1) ratio for the P2V in the wildland fire environment.

		The Lockheed P2V Neptune is largely a forgotten aircraft, as it arrived too late for World War II and was eventually overshadowed by its replacement, the Lockheed P3 Orion; but the Neptune served in large numbers as the aerial backbone of the West's defense of the oceans.
		The last US-built model of the Neptune was the P2V-7, with yet another uprated Wright radial, the R-3350-32W, with 4,000 HP take-off power.
		A total of 1,188 Neptunes were built in all; the aircraft was highly successful and had a long and productive lifetime.

		The RB-69As were basically P2V-7 (redesignated P-2H in 1962) versions of the Neptune, and were powered by a pair of 3500 hp Wright R-3350-32W Twin Wasp turbocompound radial engines and a pair of 3400 lb.s.t Westinghouse J34-WE-36 turbojets, one underneath each wing.
		The P2V-7 differed from earlier Neptunes in having a smaller ventral radome and smaller wingtip fuel tanks, plus it had a revised cockpit with a clear, bulged canopy.
		Rene Francillon's book on Lockheed aircraft has five of them (USAF serials 54-4037/4041, company construction numbers 726-7047, 726-7097, 726-7099, 726-7101, and 726-7105) being built by Lockheed directly for the USAF, whereas two were modified from unspecified US Navy airframes.
