AVRO Shackleton

[richard armstrong]

i would like to ask if anyone has drawn up plans for a Shackleton or know of a set of plans in any scale or has 3 view plans for the airframe?

Richard, as you know the AVRO Shackleton is a modified AVRO Lincoln which was a modified AVRO Lancaster all great Manchester built aircraft. There is one in the MOSI at Manchester, You could also get information from the AVRO Heritage Museum at woodford, a good day out and you will learn loads. Or You could draw your own quite easily.

Richard,
There is also a Shackleton WR963 at Coventry Airport which I believe does regular engine runs and taxying, with an aim to get it airworthy again.
