I can see them in various South American Countries or perhaps the Philippine's. The Argentinians just took possession of two ex Norwegian P-3's that underwent a major rebuild at IMP in Halifax a few years ago. Our 14 CP-140's went through the same frame reinforcements not to mention the electric...
