Reconnaissance Aircraft Will Cost 35 ljillion OTTAWA. (OP) - qvhe Canadian government has decided to pur- chase about 35 United States Nep- tune reconnaissance aircraft for the RJCAF at a total cost estimat- ed roughly at s35,000,000. informants disclosed Wednesday that preliminary procurement neg- otiations already have started and it is hoped first deliveries of the two-engine American aircraft will be made some time this year. The propellor-driven Neptune will be placed on Maritime patrol duty to assist the Second World War Lancasters until Canada is able to go into production on Brit- ain's four-engine turbine-propellor Brltannias. Canadctlr Ltd. of Montreal will prepare s. prototype of the Brit- annia. modified to suit Cansdirin reqiiirememts. This may take some time to produce. when the proto- iype is approved, the Montreal company will get a production con- tract poslbly for 50 of the crsrft. Coastal work The Neptune hasn't the power or the range of the Britannls, but ex- perts believe it will have a Marl- time role to ploy even when the Britannia is ready for duty. The Neptune will be used for short-range coastline s.nti-submar- the and patrol work while the Brita.n.i:ia. does long-range work to protect shipping and hunt down enemy subs on the Atlantic. The reason the govemmentwanis the Neptunm quickly is that it re- quires a. plane which can be fitted with secret anti-submarine de- tection devices that cannot be fitted on the Lancaster. The Brit- nnnias also will be fitted with this detection equipment when it comes off the production line. Announce Sale f 0f N.B. lielienlures P'R.EDER.IC'rON.
