RCAF 24101 - Lockheed P-2V7 / CP-127 Neptune - Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF)
at Greenwood Aviation Military Museum, Greenwood, NS. (YZX)
The aircraft on display is actually not one of the 25 Neptunes Canada operated between 1955 and 1968. The U.S. Navy's last operational Neptune flew into CFB Greenwood, NS on 27.08.1980, donated to "The Association for the Preservation of Land Based Maritime Aircraft",incorporated 15.05.1980 to accept the aircraft.
The Royal Canadian Air Force's Air Command replaced their aging Avro Lancaster maritime aircraft beginning in 1955 with P2V-7 Neptunes in the anti-submarine, anti-shipping, and maritime reconnaissance roles, as a stopgap pending deliveries of the Canadair CP-107 Argus, which began in 1960.
Engines: 2 Wright Cyclone R-3350 18 cylinder turbo-compound radial engines of 3,400 hp (2,535 kw) with water injection, turning four-bladed Hamilton Standard propellers and, after 1959, 2 Westinghouse J34-WE36 turbojets of 3,400 lbs static thrust each
Canadian Neptunes were delivered without the underwing Westinghouse J34 jet engine pods, which were retrofitted in 1959
