The Shack: always described to me as 10,000 rivets flying in close formation. But am I now one of the few left that actually saw Shacks and their 'predecessors' the Lincolns in action?
In 1953 I used to watch Lincolns from Changi flying a short circuit over Johore Bahru bombing terrorist camps then in 1966-67 Shacks from Khormaksar doing similar short circuits bombing terrorists in the Radfan. So local that in both cases I could hear the crumps of the bomb bursts.
Were these in fact the only times either aircraft were used in action?
