With the absence of the US based Shackleton from the Baginton display there was to be an all out effort to get the resident one engine running ,maybe even taxiable, even the faint chance of fast taxi running.
I have not seen anything on the progress yet, anyone got any news.

I have often wondered why the Shackleton was never cleared to fly on the civil display scene. The last developement of the Lancaster line, it still must be considered less ‘complex’ than the Vulcan or a vintage fast jet. It seems to have flown safely under the ‘experimental rules’ in the US. Allowing a company like Air Alantique to operate it under a special licence would surely not be any more risky.

repainintg??
A progress report would be great. It is good to see that this aircraft is lovingly looked after especially now that she has been repainted. To see a shack running agan in the uk would be great.
How about an updated article Flypast team???
