First flown in 1953 this Shackleton AEW.2 is now awaiting restoration outside the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre, within the St. Mawgan HAS site. Her future is uncertain with the museum threatened with closure at the end October 2022.

Photographed on approach to Keflavik. Fortunately this Shackleton is one of the few that still survive in the Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester. Sad to see these wonderful machines being reduced to scrap, as so many of its contemporaries.
