An even better one was a minor taxying accident at Kinloss before the move to Lossie - a wing tip was put into the nose of another Shackleton. Now wing tips are/were interchangeable, unfortunately no spare wing tips had been retained. However, on the other side of the runway was the fire dump, with a Mk 1 Shack waiting for the end. Over the weekend it lost a wing tip, the damaged one disappeared and the gash in the nose of the other one had a bit of BDR and paint, and on the Monday morning all were serviceable.
Now back to ASW.
