Lockheed P-3C Orion A9-760 at Butterworth circa July 1984 with 492 Squadron
tail markings. Orions were repainted by 2AD at Richmond and returned
to Edinburgh with only a blank white band on the tail so that the squadron
emblems could be applied by 492 (Maintenance) Squadron at Edinburgh.
This unique marking was applied with dayglo tape to the left hand side
only. The CO at Edinburgh was reportedly displeased but there wasn't
sufficient time to remove the markings before the aeroplane had to be
returned to service. It is understood that the markings remained on
the aeroplane for several months before they began to fade and had to
be removed. QUEENSLAND
