is there a reason for the large pool of water in front of the Shack at the end of the ground run sequence?!

After the groundrun two firetrucks shot their watercanons over the shackleton for a spectacular photo shoot.

She is still airworthy, but the SAAF museum decided not to let her fly. They just do a groundrun once a month. The main problem why she is not flying is that the pilots are ageing and she has not enough flying hours left to train new pilots.

Groundrun

Here are some more pictures of a groundrun of the Shacleton MK3 – 1722 – held Thursday evening 19 November 2009 at AFB Ysterplaat. Note the blue flames coming out of her exhausts as her throttles are opened up.

Just returned from AFB Overberg – TFDC. It was a very sad sight to see the lightning go down. It was ZU-BEX.
Condolences to his family and friends.

FN7? That would double the known number of surviving turrets of this type then. Is it the egg shaped dome?

It is the egg shaped dome. Will get some pictures and post it.

On 24 January 2009 at Ysterplaat AFB in Cape Town, Shackleton 1722 was again started up to give the enjins a good run – and boy what a sound that was……!
My wife took some pictures:

457’s original number

Have just discovered that 457’s original number was WJ991. Have found it on the website: http://www.demobbed.org.uk/.
The other T4 that SAAF had (459) original number was WJ617
