Last night while following various threads I ran across this site on abandoned aircraft, there were a few pics that were very interesting, including one of a Catalina abandoned on a beach and what I think is a shackleton in the desert,,,, http://definition.org/blog/incredible-pictures-abandon-airplanes/ Enjoy.

The Shackleton, in the desert, was being flown from South Africa to the U.K. to perform some air displays. I believe it suffered engine problems en route, and was forced to make an emergency landing, as shown in the picture.
As can be seen, it was soon stripped of any useful parts, probably by the locals.
