Just to carry over from my Armed Forces thread.
There is to be a Shackleton Cockpit on display at the armed forces event on Saturday at Rayleigh.
Or as the Evening Echo says, a Shackleton “bomber”.
Anyone know who this one belongs to ?

Hi all,
Yes, its Norman Thelwell’s MR1/T4, VP293 or “Zebedee” to many. SPT are taking it around a number of places and shows over the course of this year, Rayleigh being one of them.
Kind Regards,
Rich

It could be the Mk1/T4 VP293 (N Thelwell – Coventry) and perhaps Rich may be along in a while to confirm whether they are participating.
A few possible references from about these parts:
