Thanks,

Hi there,

Still looking in every now and then to see if anything new occurring.

Thanks for the replies. Would be nice to see some personal Shack photos if you would like to share.

Have not talked to Henk in some time. Not sure what the future holds for this site.

The Feb 2010 issue of Aeroplane monthly has a nice Shackleton database section in it. Lots of photos I haven't seen before.

Cheers,

Hi,

I still stop by here on the offchance there's something new.

Been busy this past year helping get WR963 at Coventry growling again. We've had nos 1, 3 and 4 running, just hung a new (zero time) engine in the no2 position, and we should be getting the new propellors built and back on in the next few weeks.

We're also hoping to give her a repaint sometime soon.

Regards,

Ric
