Based on the BAe 125 Series 800, Japan has 28 U-125As for SAR duties. They have observation windows, 360° radar and thermal imaging systems, flare & marker-buoy dispenser and extra comms equipment. A life-raft packed into a tube can be discharged through the mainwheel bay, requiring the undercarriage to be lowered. The aircraft has enhanced protection against salt water. Examples are deployed across the JASDF base network and this one is the local resident

In the early 1960s, Shin Meiwa extensively modified a Grumman UF-1 (BuAer 149822) with a boundary layer control STOL system. The company, previously known as Kawanishi, used wartime experience with flying boats (see my Emily photo #20511to further develop the UF-XS, which first flew in 12.62, into an ASW patrol aircraft, leading to the PS-1/US-1 for the JMSDF. The unique UF-XS is now in the Kakamigahara Aerospace Museum; note unusual 4-engined configuration with 3-bladed props inboard and 2-bladed outboard

In 1960 this Heron was one of those imported to Japan from the large Garuda Indonesia fleet (delivered new in 1954 as PK-GHK). Some were converted by Shin Meiwa with Continental engines, but JA6159 retained the Gypsy Queens and operated for Toa Airlines and then Japan Domestic Airlines after merger in 1964. After use as a ground instructional airframe at Hiroshima, it was placed on display at the Kaizuka Transport Park north of Fukuoka airport in 1968 and remains there along with some railway locomotives

The first of two US-1A Kai prototypes, the advanced version of the famous flying boat by ShinMaywa. 'Peacock 901' was carrying out test flights for the Technical Research and Development Institute of the Japan Defence Agency. Afterwards, the US-1A Kai was redesignated US-2, making this preproduction ship an XUS-2. At the time of photographing it clearly still displayed its original designation. Shin Meiwa was renamed to ShinMaywa in 1992. [Nikon F100, Fuji Provia 100F]
