Following the net discussion of whether the Orion was still being
manufactured, this quote from Flight International 26 Oct:

"...Japan's National Defence Council has approved a plan to extend the
procurement by a further 25 Orions, increasing the Japanese fleet to 100
by the early 1990s. ... The aircraft will be built under Lockheed licence
by Japan's Kawasaki Heavy Industries at its Gifu production plant."
