Dont worry about it just now mate.

Now also available from PC Aviator Australia at a great, low price (if you wish to buy more local, or want an inexpensive DVD backup disc sent instead of downloading) - http://www.pcaviator.com.au/store/product....roductid=555306

Yea the pic was taken over Coregidor (quite historic) at the entrance to Manila Bay during a combined maritime exercise.
The Marlins and us were based at Sangley Point (U.S.Naval Base).
They were quite an impressive aircraft and a bit newer than our Sunderlands ( but 5 Sqdn were better )

I have a book about the Marlin, they turn out to be very useful during Vietnam in the SAR role.
