MS Saga Ruby was a cruise ship that was last operated by Saga Cruises. She was originally built as the combined ocean liner / cruise ship Vistafjord in 1973 by Swan Hunter Ship-builders in the United Kingdom for the Norwegian America Line. In 1983 she was sold to Cunard Line, retaining her original name until 1999 when she was renamed Caronia. In 2004 she was sold to Saga and sailed as Saga Ruby until sold in 2014 for use as a floating hotel and renamed Oasia. However, this plan never came to fruition. Her owners went bankrupt and in April 2017 she arrived at the Alang ship-breaking yard in India for dismantlement. (Wikipedia (edited)).

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.
