P2V-5
A89-307 at Brisbane Eagle Farm with A89-312 in the background. The date
of this photo is not known but on 20 February 1959, both these aircraft
were en route from Richmond to Hawaii when A89-307 experienced an over-speeding
prop on the port engine, prompting a diversion to Brisbane. Apparent
activity around the port engine of 307 suggests that the photo was taken
on this occasion. This image well demonstrates the Glossy Sea Blue finish
in which these aircraft were delivered. A89-307 went back to Lockheed
on 25 July 1959 to be fitted with jet pods.
