Summary

[edit]
Description

The Dutch Navy had a total of 19 Lockheed SP-2H (P2V-7) Neptunes between 1961 and 1982.

207 is seen taxiing back to the platform via runway 17/35. In 1961 it flew from Lockheed to Biak in New Guinea in time to see action against Indonesia. The Indonesians wanted to kick-out the Dutch and conquer the colony. On 17 May 1962 this Neptune shot down an intruding Indonesian C-47 with its nose guns - the P-2s had impressive firepower in those days! 207 never wore a kill marking, as far as I know. In August 1981 207 made its last flight and was scrapped.
