Apr 9, 2019 at 17:56 comment added dalearn How did you know that it was a maritime patrol aircraft based on the tail?
Apr 9, 2019 at 12:44 comment added Russell McMahon @Sanchises See my answer.
Apr 9, 2019 at 11:56 comment added Russell McMahon For interest: I'd have suggested a P3 - New Zealand (where I live) also operates them although I believe they are about to be phased out.
Apr 9, 2019 at 11:27 comment added J... @AlexanderKosubek Agreed. The MAD boom on the tail is there specifically for submarine hunting.
Apr 9, 2019 at 10:14 comment added I'm with Monica I think your answer would benefit from some information as to what exactly about the tail makes it obviously a maritime patrol aircraft.

Apr 9, 2019 at 8:38 comment added Sanchises There's one other low-wing 4 engine maratime patrol aircraft, the Ilyushin Il-38. Although indeed this looks more like the P-3 Orion.
