I am also fairly sure it was not a Shackleton. My Father was in the Royal Observer Corps and I grew up looking at all of his old ROC Journals. My recognition in those days was pretty good and I was able to win prizes at it as an Air Cadet! Growing up in the Cotswolds, Shackletons were a fairly rare sight (as were Nimrods) as we were so far from the sea. I had to make do with VC10s, C130s KC135s and A10s. Much more activity then compared to today. The B25s at Little Rissington for Hanover Street were a highlight of my childhood but they were much earlier than my "B24".
