I doubt that the average man on the street knows what a Shackleton is/was or has an urgent need to see one fly.
Large aircraft seem notorious for consuming large sums of money to rebuild, maintain and operate in flying condition.
Therefore I shall not be contributing but we are in a free country.
PS I would have loved the Shorts Solent (?) to have remained airworthy and in this country. The sight of it at Poole in 1976 is one I will never forget and as an island country such a machine has a great story to tell.
