Photo Comment

En route from Naples to its base in Dallas, Texas, and operated by Naval Reserve Base Flight, NAS Fort Worth. A rare visitor to Northolt that I was very lucky to see, having arrived just as it was preparing for take off. This Neptune was involved in the search for USS Thresher, which was lost off the coast of New England on 10 April 1963.
