Were there ever any 'birdstrikes' with the fruit bats as they fly day and night
At least one of 205 Squadron's Shackletons had a bat strike.. The reason the strikes were not common with the Shackletons was that we were in Gan to provide Search and Rescue cover, so most of the time the aircraft was on standby but not flown. Usually spent two weeks there at a time, and did not fly more than once, if at all.
