RAF Shackleton.

RAF Shackleton.
The Avro Shackleton was a British long-range maritime patrol aircraft, used by the Royal Air Force and the South African Air Force. It was developed by Avro from the Lincoln bomber, itself being a development of the famous wartime Lancaster bomber of "Dambusters" fame. Entering service with the RAF in 1951, the Shackleton was used in anti-submarine warfare and maritime patrol aircraft roles; it was also used as a search and rescue platform and performed several other roles such as troop-transport. In later life a small number of the RAF's Shackletons were subsequently adapted for airborne early warning duties, performing in this capacity until the type's retirement in 1991. The type is named after the polar explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton.

Photographed at the Museum Of Science and Industry (M.O.S.I.) in Manchester, North-West England.
