I spotted this Shackleton a few hours ago, also the other one parked on the grass. I also spotted a Shackleton at Swartkop Airport along with a Canberra, Hercules, and more military aircraft.

Nice shot, is one of those DC3’s on it’s belly? The silvery looking one furthest away from the Shack looks like it’s on its belly
Optical illusion I think – look at it’s shadow. The angle of the shadow of the top of the fuselage relative to the fuselage matches (in reverse) the other DC3.
Couldn’t work out where the Vampire?Venow on a stick was though!

No worries, fascinating pictures! I haven’t quite got my head around Google Earth but it is excellent! I’ve tried to find a few airfields in the Eastern Caprivi without success……..ie Mpacha! :diablo:

After (unexpectedly) finding a vulcan at an american air force base (barksdale) I’ve managed to track down the Shackleton that lives at Thunder city (ysterplaat airport), here it is:
Thunder City is at Cape Town International and the flying Shackleton “P” 1722 lives with the SAAF Museum which is at Ysterplaat.
