or indeed the Shackleton

That Shack is not operated by Mike Beachyhead's ThunderCity operation who operate the 3 x Lightnings, 3 x Bucc's, Hunter's etc.

It's the last airworthy Mk3, and is maintained by the SAAF. I believe it's last flight is imminent, as it's almost time expired. In 2002 there was only 90 hours left on it....

Which will leave Coventy based Air Atlantique with the last airworthy Shack, their Mk2, which unfortunately because of CAA restrictions means it has to be based and operated over in the US of A.....
