The Avro Shackleton, designed by Roy Chadwick was a development of the Avro Lincoln which itself was inspired by the more famous Avro Lancaster. The Shackleton is Powered by 4 Rolls Royce Griffon engines which turn huge Contra-rotating propellers, the sound of which give it the nickname ‘Growler’.
WR963 was first flown on 11th March 1954 and has served under many squadrons and performed several roles including maritime reconnaissance and AEW (Airborne Early Warning).
The Shackleton Aviation Group are now the custodians of this former RAF Shackleton. Their goal is to return the aeroplane to the skies as a flying memorial to all Shackleton units and personnel that served between 1949 and 1991. They hold many open days throughout the year at their home base, Coventry Airport. This picture was taken during an evening photoshoot. The airport fire service were coincidently undertaking a training session which contributed an orange glow to the sky.
