Evenin' All
Just checked in to a hotel in West Seneca NY and as I pulled in to the car park I saw a Shackleton overfly me.
Does anyone know to whom it belongs? I stopped the car and listened to the sound....Mrs EW thinks that I have lost my mind!:ok:
Not possible, no airworthy Shaks. Possibly a B-24 Liberator?

Shack over Buffalo NYI suspect it may have been a different 4-engined Avro ...
West Seneca is only a few miles from the Canadian border and about 75 miles as the crow (or Lancaster) flies from C-GVRA's base at Hamilton.
