Shackleton WL756 nose section

Anyone that can give an update on this? I was following it but cannot now find the thread, I seem to recall that perhaps the detail was located within another thread???

Anyway, I know someone asked for a photo of WL756 when in service and as I have just come across mine whilst sorting some slides, I wondered if anyone wanted to see her?

MrB.175 – very nice.

Camlobe I will post the ‘756 pics when I can find them – somewhere in loft!

MrB.175 – do you have any pics of WL795 when she was in service?

MrB.175 and Nick B, Any photo’s would be nice to see. With regard to ’56’s last landing at Mawgan, I was on the other ship (can’t remember which one it was – age catching up). Would be nice to see some familiar faces. Thanks in advance.

It was the cockpit section thread

And it had its own thread, but a forum member decided to hijack the topic to promote his own ends for commercial gain, it descended into farce and was pulled.

I’m afraid i cannot answer any questions on the nose section, as my involvement has now been sidelined.

Feel free to post the pic’s though…….. 😉

I think it was in the scrapyards thread?

Also if anyone is interested I photographed this a/c on its last landing at St Mawgan in Jun ’91. I also snapped shots of WL757 (I think) that picked up the crew of ‘756.
