More Shack pictures
My Mate took another drive past today and took some more pics, this time zoomed up. Don’t want to upload too many as not quite sure if I should be posting them elsewhere. The Shackeltons do look very sad indeed. There is a very good aerial view of the 3 aircraft on Google earth, I won’t post this as I am unsure if this would break Forum rules. The following is an extract from my Mate’s email ” Today I went back for another look and to take a few zoomed in pics. There were two English guys inside the fence. One worked at the airport and the other was out for an inspection visit. They were taking pics as well. They thought it sad these aircraft had been dumped there to rot away. The aircraft on the left and nearest to me is they said W757 and had a name on its side. WG CDR C. J. Booth. The other one is WL747. As you can see from the pics I have sent today there are starting to get
in a sorry state. They are only 150 meters from the sea so in winter with
strong westerly blowing I should imagine the get a good regular soaking in
sea spray. From the missing props I would suspect the vandals and souvenir
collectors are already at work. One wonders what they are like inside
You can not get to them from the airport one has to drive miles past the
airport then down to the beach then along a dirt track until you get to the
airport fence where they are parked. I took a cutting from Google the one
named Paphos shows were the aircraft are and pic one the road I drove along
to get there.”
