  • It's always really impressive to hear the SOUND of theses WWII bombers :D

  • 204, my 1st posting out of training, was horrified at the time, but made my life

  • Wow, amazing footage, the sound of it incoming makes my hair stand up, imagine 30 or so of these or B17 flying overhead :O

  • what happens if u cross a b24 with an avro lanc. b3?

  • I remember being at this particular Cosford show the Avros (Vulcan and Shackleton) setting off the car alarms it were grand

  • I was fortunate to work on the MK3 Phase3 Shackeltons at RAF Kinloss and actually signed off as Crew Chief for the 1st Mk2 AEW shack in 1971!

  • @JC107LTA My dad was flying in Shackletons at Kinloss at about that time, Flt Lt Vic Taylor, did you know him at all?

  • Nice video, I used to stand on the cliff tops near my house when I was a kid and watch these fly by almost at the same level. Shame I never had a camera in those days.

  • What a great plane...

  • Does anyone know where I can buy a DVD documentary on the Avro Shackleton? What an amazing bird.

    I live in the USA

    Thanks

  • This one at Coventry Airport is not airworthy though is it?

  • Well this machine is not airworthy at the moment but there is now a group at Coventry called "Shackelton to the sky" which are trying to get this aircraft fling again so keep an eye open you never know we may yet see a shackelton flying again one day :-) Cheers Lee.

  • Amazing the think the defence of the UK depended on such a wonderful aircraft, a British aircraft and today we cannot even make such a wonderful piece of engineering, it is a sad indictment on the successive governments we have had to weaken us so badly.

  • @gtrtech13 We probably could if we wanted to to be fair. I guess there isn't the financial incentive though.
