Avro Shackleton descendent of the Avro Lancaster shown in aviation art prints by leading aviation artist Ivan Berryman, Gerald Coulson and Geoff Lea. The Avro Shackleton maritime patrol aircraft. Aviation art prints available from the aviation art print company.

The first prototype flew on 9th March 1949. The Shackleton was a development of the famous Avro Lancaster Bomber. and the Shackleton was designed for use for coastal Command. The First RAF squadrons to be equipped with the aircraft were NO. 120 squadron at Kinloss in 1951 followed by another 7 squadrons by 1953. The MR2 mark aircrafts began replacing the mK1's in 1954.. These aircraft saw long service with the last MR3 being retired in 1971  but a Airborne early warning variant joined no 8 squadron in January 1972.

Crew: six to ten.  Speed: 302 mph.  range: 4215 at 200 mph at 1500 feet.  Service ceiling 19,200 feet.  Armament: two 20mm Hispano cannon in nose, two 20mm Hispano cannon in B.17 dorsal turret.  Two .50in machine guns in tail

 End of an Era by Gerald Coulson Entering service in 1951, the Shackleton has been seen worldwide performing anti-submarine and search and rescue duties prior to the installation of the radar necessary for the airborne early warning role in 1972 wit No.8 squadron.  Phased out during1991, and superseded by the Boeing E-3 Sentries (AWACS), only six remain and are still called upon to assist for search and rescue sorties and the dubious honour of operating in the conditions depicted in this painting. After forty years of sterling service the Shackleton deserves a tribute.

Bowing Out (Shackleton) by Ivan Berryman  The remarkable Avro Shackleton provided the RAF with stalwart service for no less than 43 years. These charming giants lumbering into the 1990's and into the hearts of literally thousands of servicemen, ex-servicemen and enthusiasts alike before finally signing off in July 1991. This is AEW.2 WL757 "Brian" based at Lossiemouth. The last RAF unit to operate the Shackleton before its replacement with the long overdue Boeing Sentry AEW. An appealing and emotive painting of one of British aviation's most charismatic aeroplanes.

Shackleton MR3, 120 Sqdn, Kinloss by Robin Smith.

One of the true workhorses of the RAF is indeed the Shackleton. A commission for an ex Shackleton pilot, thet print depicts a typical air sea rescue mission. Having dropped a smoke flare, the aircraft flies down wind / cross wind of the stricken vessel. Lindholme gear is then released which consists of a 9 man inflatable dinghy connected by two floating ropes several hundred feet long with survival packs on the ends. The survivors then wind drift into the ropes and haul in the gear.
