	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Avro Shackleton
		The Shackleton was a Royal Air Force long-range patrol bomber developed from the Avro Lincoln bomber with a new fuselage.
		It was clearly based on the successful wartime Avro Lancaster bomber, one of Chadwick's designs and the Lancaster derivative the Avro Lincoln, which was the then current ASW aircraft.
		Avro was a British aircraft manufacturer, well known for planes such as the Avro Lancaster which served in World War II.

	3D lwo Avro Shackleton AEW
		The Avro Shackleton was one of the best loved aircraft ever to fly with the Royal Air Force, serving all over the world for 40 years, and just about every country has an oil stained patch of tarmac which is forever England.
		Two Shackletons are still flying, an MR3 in South Africa and a AEW2 operating from Midland, Texas in the USA.
		On a personal note my father was associated with the Shackleton for most of his career with Hawker Siddely and British Aerospace, and as Chief Works superintendant at Bitteswell was largely responsible for re-booming the Shackleton AEW2 in the mid 1970's which kept the Shackleton flying until the 1990's.

		The fuselage of the Avro Type 696 was almost the same length as that of the Lincoln, but almost double the internal volume.
		The rest of the airframe was typically that of the Lincoln, with various parts borrowed from the Avro Tudor.
		The last Shackleton MR.Mk1A was delivered on 18 July 1952, and the first Shackleton MR.Mk2 (WG530) was delivered on 25 September 1952.

	Avro Shackleton AEW 2
		The Avro Shackleton AEW 2 was developed from the Shackleton Maritime Patrol aircraft, itself derived from the Avro Lancaster bomber which saw widespread use in World War Two.
		The Shackleton was fitted with the AN/APS 20(F) radar in a large bulge under the nose of the aircraft, forcing a change back to a tail wheel configuration as used on the Lancaster and MR Mk 1 variant.
		The radars fitted to the Shackleton were originally fitted to Royal Navy AD-4W Skyraiders followed by Gannet AEW 3's before being removed and fitted to the modified aircraft.

	The Shackleton Association
		The Association was conceived and founded in 1987 by John Botwood, who quickly assembled a dedicated group of mainly ex RAF members who had been associated with the Avro Shackleton during their service career and who were determined that the memory of this great aircraft should never be forgotten.
		It was realised at the outset that we would not have the resources to purchase and maintain a Shackleton in flying order, or even to have one of our own as a static exhibit.
		Although the majority of members are currently ex-aircrew and groundcrew who have been associated with the Shackleton over the years, we welcome serving members of the Royal Air Force and indeed anyone who is an enthusiast of the Avro Shackleton.

	The Avro Shackleton Mark Two WR965 MR 2/AEW.2
		Most people were inside their homes as it was near lunchtime when the familiar sound of the Avro Shackleton flying overhead was heard (click thumbnail above for enlargement).
		Although the aircraft could be considered old (first flown in 1954) it had been well serviced throughout it's history (the Shackleton was based in Lossiemouth prior to the crash).
		The flightpath was a familiar one so the only contributing factor would have been the bad weather but it is not known what caused the aircraft to crash into the hillside - the aircraft did not carry a "fl box" flight recorder.

		In the post war years the factory's Avro title was absorbed into Hawker Siddeley Aviation with the industry's rationalisation in 1963, and further changes in 1977 saw the Chadderton plant become part of British Aerospace.In 1999 a further name change was made to BAE SYSTEMS.
		The aircraft produced at Chadderton in recent years, the Avro 748 and ATP Advanced Turboprop airliners and components for the BAe 146 and RJ Regional Jet Avroliner, may not be as familiar as their predecessors, but are no less significant in the world's air transport industry.
		The Avro Anson was-already in production and serving with the RAF and a number of other countries after pre-war deliveries was soon alongside the Blenheim, but the Company was pinning its hopes on the new Avro Manchester bomber.

	Avro Shackleton History
		Sadly, Chadwick did not live to see that first flight of the Shackleton; he was killed aged 54 in 1947 in the prototype Tudor Mk 11 in the first accident identified clearly caused by Murphy’s Law.
		Although as squadrons re-equipped with Shackletons, progressing from Mk 1 and Mk 1As to Mk 2, (and then back again as did 204 in 1959), and then, to some, Mk 3s of various phases, an ever increasing number became Shackleton men — and very many of them forever.
		Shackleton MR.2C : This designation was given to a number of Shackleton MR.2s, fitted with the navigation and offensive equipment of the Shackleton MR.3.
