Suprised to see how much of Shackleton 1716 is going walkies

Considering her location and distance from civilisation, she appears to be getting gutted,

….Was there a book written on the crash?

I’m not sure about a book but a DVD was produced, reviewed here!

IIRC it was also briefly featured in another DVD about Shackletons by Black Eagle Projects and this was once on sale in the NAM Shop! šŸ™‚

Yeah its about time the locals down there took a lesson on how to slowly strip a Shackleton MR.3 of its valuables by looking at the Long Marston example!

I would really have liked the instrument panels. Surprised the columns and yokes are there, shows it is being stripped for metal not aeronautica

How many camels does it take to move an engine?

Was there a book written on the crash?

im amazed if shes still that intact. I read somewhere that they were planning on blowing the hulk up as passing airliners in the region kept reporting the remains as a new crash?

You would have thought that the engines would have been retreived early on?
