wl790's last flight

The aircraft attended Oshkosh in 1998. Remember seeing her depart. Last time I saw a “Shack” in the air……….a great memory.

Thank you Flypast for the coverage of her last flight in the latest isse! Enjoy your retirement Mr McHenry!

Great set of photos Paul, it really was sad to see her retired, I can remember when she was a regular at various airfields around Lincolnshire.

So sad to see the old geezer silenced and thousands of miles away from home, but probably stands a better chance of long term survival out there in the dry heat.

Thanks for the link Skippyscage! Fantastic photo’s!!

thanks Peter – Flypast have also done a very good job with a centre spread of the old girl.

The full set of photos can be found here.

The crew and Pima were fantastic to work with, and I’m very glad that I could give this flight the exposure it deserved.

A quite stunning set of air to airs on that link.

I was being funny as the front dome has weathered severly over the last 2 years… lighten up.:)

Good article and excellent pics of the mighty Shackletons last flight in the latest Aircraft Illustrated! Can you spot the “ghost” in the front gunners dome?

More like Ben Cox….:mad:
