This has just come up for me.
Carrier related; bloke I was at university with had been a nav on Shackletons (Bob xxxxx).
He told me about nicking a life sized wooden bear from somewhere in Canada & bringing it back in the bomb bay.
I've no reason to doubt him but he said (he was in his 50's in 2000) about lining the Shack up on a Carrier & putting a Mayday call in to land on the Carrier.
They apparently pushed an F4 Phantom off the deck before the Shack pulled away.
ISTR he said they'd got a couple of engines feathered or shut down on the approach.
Again, he was a genuine bloke but is there any truth in this?
(I've never been in the Forces but speculatively putting a Shack onto a carrier sounds optimistic having seen the wingspan).
