No sh*t sherlock.
Shackleton to be replaced on the gate by a Wessex (yet to be resprayed into SAR yellow)
Shack to be airlifted by a Jolly Green later this year.
C47 has since been sold and flown out to Germany, currently used for pleasure flights over Berlin.

Sorry for the belated reply-just joined this site. I believe the SWO at Cottesmore in ’74 was my father, Master Pilot B. J. (Bob) Adamek. Recognised by the mo and the Afghan hound. He joined the mob in ’44, flying Wimpies. Finished his last flying tour in Sharjah on Twin Pioneersaround ’71. De-mobbed in 82. Sadly passed away in “93.
A real gent.
Sadly I wished I had written down our conversations, the sands of time and all that.
I remember he wasn’t keen on Germans and even less keen on Russians.
It was a shock to me at the time, how we treated the Poles at the end of the war and your father was the main reason my Spitfire is painted in Polish markings.

Didn’t mean to cause offence.
Wasn’t really directed at you, just wanted to make sure posters are aware that relatives of this tragic incident may happen upon this thread (as they have before)
Sorry, my previous post does appears blunt.

Was there not a thread on this very subject a few years back.
ISTR Lt Col Arthur “Bud” Holland’s daughter wrote a few (emotive) words on that thread.
Have respect before posting.
