Fantastic to see, a bit after my time as I left in 84 but the sound of the Shackleton will stay with me forever. Actually 2 flights in them and my ears are still ringing 40 years later
I was an SAC in the brake parachute bay when the Jags were there. I managed to get an air experience flight in a Shack from Lossie. Happy days. Last of the big piston bangers.
I so miss the Shackleton. There is one thats in ground running condition at Coventry airport along with a Nimrod that I believe is being also prepared for teaching condition.
