ABC radio reported her position as 2000nm west of the West Australian coast.Sounds like a bit far out for the old P3.

I wonder how the were able to procure an airframe and crew. Not like they have spare airframes and divers sitting around.till

Still, it would have been a bit of an interesting exercise for the crew, something a little different from the normal line flying.
