As of 1981, Peruvian Naval Aviation had nine Grumman S-2E Trackers in operation. All were assigned to Escuadrón Aeronaval No.12, and all came from surplus stocks of the US Navy: unsurprisingly, they still wore the standard livery consisting of gull gray (FS16440) on upper surfaces and sides, and white (FS17875) on undersurfaces. Large black serials were worn below the cockpit and on the fin, and the service title on the rear fuselage. At least three or four also wore a large ‘sharkmouth’, the exact form of which was different from aircraft to aircraft. Notable is the spinner painted in black. (Artwork by Tom Cooper)
