This is the last of the four large-format air museum pictures that I was able to salvage. The other four are just too much of a PITA for me to try and remedy the light leaks, This is the only HP5+image that I think passes muster – and it’s the one where the light leak is probably most obvious, despite my attempts to hide it. I still think I somehow managed a pretty good rescue attempt though.
The aircraft in the picture is an Avro Shackleton, a post-WWII aircraft developed for anti-submarine warfare and maritime patrol duties. 185 aircraft were produced.

I wondered if you’d got the Shackleton!

Yeah. Didn’t go inside it on this visit though.

That’s a really nice image of the Shackleton. I used to work with a Brit when I was in Air Traffic Control in Melbourne about forty years ago who had served on Shackletons, I think as a navigator. He was in his forties then, amazing how time flies….

Thanks Steve. My dad tells me he got a “lift” on one fron Northern Ireland back to the mainland UK one time when he was doing his national service.
