Thanks for that Dave. And here's a link to a photo of that handsome brute WR982, that I took on my visit to the GAM in May 2011:

And also a link to a video that I shot of the Coventry Shack running up its engines back in June of 2004:

And a link to how it now looks, in 1950s RAF Coastal Command colours:

Does anyone have a video of its recent taxi run?

Finally, here's a link to all of my photos of Shackletons taken over the years. Highlights include the one at Strathallan, back in 1976 (don't think there are too many shots of that knocking around); and WR965 at the 1973 Biggin Air Fair. Also shots of the MR.3 at Newark Air Museum; and the MR.2 in the Manchester Museum of Science and Industry, which is the only one preserved under cover/in a building, I think:

Anyone got any shots of SAAF machines, or of RAF ones "back in the day?"
