However the serials 122453/122458 were subsequently reassigned to the P2V Neptune batch, and the serials of these six helicopters were transferred to the 122952/122963 batch.

Patrol Unit/Naval Communications Unit 32G, Code AG, NAF Port Lyautey, French Morocco The aircraft departed Nicosia, Cyprus 6Feb52 for a spy mission over the Black Sea off Sevastopol, Crimea, Ukraine. During a racetrack pattern off the coast the right engine failed when an oil line blew. The aircraft headed back to Cyprus but using the auxiliary jet engines increased fuel consumption [the mission precluded landing in Turkey]. Shortly after leaving the Turkish coast the engines failed with fuel exhaustion and the aircraft was ditched in the Mediterranean Sea near Cyprus in the early hours of 7Feb52. The crew escaped but the Plane Commander re-entered the aircraft to check that all crew were out, but became trapped when the aircraft began to sink and was drowned.

Damaged 1Jun52 in collision with parked PBY-6A BuNo 46646 taxying at NAS Jacksonville, FL. converted to P4M-1Q. VQ-2, Code JQ-3, NAF Port Lyautey, French Morocco. The aircraft was to be ferried from Port Lyautey to Norfolk. The pilot conducted a test flight at Port Lyautey during which an electrical fire developed in the main circuit breaker panel. The trouble was investigated, but no record of repair was noted. Another test flight was conducted without incident. Leaving Port Lyautey on January 4, 1958, the aircraft proceeded to Lajes, Azores and thence to Bermuda. Prior to take-off from Bermuda, a fuel leak was discovered in the right main engine fuel line to the pressure gauge. Repair was made and the flight departed Bermuda on January 6, 1958. Jet engines were used until the bomb bay fuel tanks had been emptied. Continuing on reciprocating engines only the flight was uneventful until preparations were made to land at Norfolk, VA. In the vicinity of Naval Air Station, Oceana, attempts to start the port jet failed. The starboard jet started, but it idled at 85% and the TOT went up to 900 degrees. Further attempts were made to start both jets, but without success. The decision was made to make the approach on main engines only. Approaching Naval Air Station, Norfolk, the pilot was cleared to enter traffic and break right to the downwind leg of runway 28. While on down wind, Navy Norfolk Tower requested 4373 to extend his approach to let a jet land first. The pilot complied with Tower instructions and started to turn on base after extending his downwind leg. After turning about 45 degrees to the right, the port engine lost power. The aircraft continued turning right at a reduced rate of turn for another 45 degrees. The flight path was now just about perpendicular to the beach in the vicinity of Ocean View and the aircraft was losing altitude. Shortly after passing over the beach, a left turn was started. The aircraft continued on in a nose high attitude and struck several cottages and automobiles which were it its flight path. The aircraft started to come apart as it hit the cottages. The aircraft struck the ground in an empty lot and continued sliding across a road into a small cottage where it came to rest and started to burn. Location of crash is listed as 22nd St. & E. Ocean View Ave. The aircraft and property were destroyed by fire. 124374/124379 Grumman UF-1 Albatross Model G-64 124374 (MSN 10) delivered to US Navy Dec 30, 1949 124375 (MSN 13) delivered to US Navy Feb 17, 1950 124376 (MSN 16) delivered to US Navy Mar 9, 1950 124377 (MSN 19) delivered to US Navy Mar 31, 1950 124378 (MSN 22) delivered to US Navy May 8, 1950 124379 (MSN 25) delivered to US Navy May 23, 1950 124380/124414 Vought F6U-1 Pirate contract cancelled 124415/124434 Vought F7U-1 Cutlass 124429/124434 cancelled 124419 crashed on landing in Norfolk, Virginia in late October 1953. 124426 and 124427 were flown by the Blue Angels 124428 assigned to NAS Dallas, TX.
