    These are the five built R3Y-1 128445 - 128449 I believe the problems with their T-40 engines delayed the acceptance by the Navy. Stig

    The program was halted after thirteen aircraft were built, the reason being the unreliability of the Allison T-40 turboprops. The crash of one of the two XP5Y-1 aircraft was judged due to catastrophic engine failure; when little progress was being made with the engine problems, the Navy halted the program. Subsequently, three more aircraft were lost through engine failures, and the Navy gave up on the T-40 and aircraft powered by it. All the P5Y and R3Y aircraft were grounded in 1958 and subsequently broken up. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Convair_R3Y_Tradewind
