Found these two on Airliners.net and thought I’d share them with you. You often have to hunt around the site for the pics you want.Although you’d probably think of putting these two in a warbirds or classics section,these were under ‘modern military'(alongside a B17!) I’ve had to trim these down a bit to come under the size limitations on the forum.

RE: Pics of the Day
The Shackleton is an MR3 (MR=Maritime Recce).Although a pic of a Shack would be interesting enough in itself,the picture also shows a Lockheed Neptune in the background.The Shackleton replaced the Neptune in RAF service,so the picture is kind of symbolic.
Both these pics were taken at Auckland Airport,New Zealand in the late 60’s.I’m presuming the Neptune in this case is an Australian one,all RAF Neptunes having been retired by this time if my memory serves me correctly.

The aircraft in the foreground on the 2nd. picture is an Avro Shackelton. Not being an Avro specialist I can not give you the exact model with any certainty, but a Mk.2 is my guess!
