But the Shackleton GR1 was only a conversion of a Manchester Bomber, albeit through the Lancaster/Lincoln versions.

Manchester + 2 engines = Lancaster
Lancaster + bigger wing = Lincoln
Lincoln + bigger fuselage = Shackleton

So I wouldn't put it in the dedicated MPA class, even if it is not in the converted airlines class.
