It was a very sad day indeed.
Growing up near Binbrook in the 70s and 80s. It was good to see them around doing training with the Air defence guys at both Binbrook and Coningsby.

I remember it well. I was working in Lossies armoury when it happened.
As I was resposible for looking after all the weapons AP’s in the building, my boss asked me if There were any covering crashed Shackletons. Speculation at the time was that it had just made an emergency landing.
Unfortunately I was soon able to tell him how serious it was having listened to the news on the radio. I well remember the sense of shock that travelled around Lossie when the news broke.

Flew in her just 10 days before she crashed. The photos I took during that flight always made me feel uneasy knowing what happened next.
