Avro Shackleton. The Royal Air Force Avro Shackleton, a descendent of the Avro Lancaster, was used as for Anti Submarine, maritime patrol and search and rescue duties.  Aviation art prints of the Avro Shackleton by leading aviation artist Ivan Berryman, Gerald Coulson and Geoff Lea available from aviation prints.co.uk.

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  Phased out during1991, and superseded by the Boeing E-3 Sentries (AWACS), only six remain and are still called upon to assist for search and rescue sorties and the dubious honour of operating in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.


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.

View All		The British Grand Fleet had been virtually unopposed for nearly a century but now there was a challenge to the throne: the German Navy. Although smaller, it had caught up fast and by the time of Jutland, had some telling advantages over the British Fleet. the plan for the battle was to lure the British Grand Fleet into a lethal trap in German waters. In the event although desperately fought by both sides, the battle was a stale mate. the confused conflict was hampered on both sides by bad luck, bad weather and poor communications. at the end of the battle, the Royal navy had suffered higher losses in men and ships, but the German fleet never ventured out of harbour to seek battle again.

Half Price - £3100.00 		HMS Norfolk and HMS Belfast of Force I are shown engaging the Scharnhorst which has already been hit and disabled by both HMS Duke of York and the cruiser HMS Jamaica.

Half Price - £50.00 		D squadron 22 SAS, made their way to the Argentinian landing strip where they proceeded to destroy 11 enemy aircraft with demolition charges, 66mm rockets and small arms. The destruction of these enemy aircraft, among them Paccaras, most certainly saved many lives among the Task Force and proved a valuable morale booster at the same time.

Raid on Pebble Island, Falkland Islands, 1982 by David Pentland. (Y)
Half Price - £50.00 		The painting depicts the climax of the Zulu attacks at the defence of Rorkes Drift. The Zulus were unable to effectively penetrate the mealie bag defenses at Rorkes Drift, even though they succeeded in burning down the hospital, and peppering the storehouse with bullet holes. The confined space available to the British garrison caused a certain degree of physical compression, but this in fact worked against the Zulus, as it drove the defenders closer together with the result being that the volley fire from the defenders was concentrated and subsequently very effective at close range, as opposed to the spread out skirmish line type formation used at Isandlwhana. The Zulu attacks also became uncoordinated, being driven forward by charismatic individuals, but lacking the support of the necessary numbers needed to overwhelm the desperate defenders, who now appreciated that they were literally fighting for their lives.

View All		 Landing and taking off from the hillsides, rather than established airfields, this was extremely dangerous work which involved the pilot following the terrain and contours of the land that was being dressed in order to ensure an even distribution of the chemical. Australian-born Jim McMahon, served during World War II on B.25 Mitchell bombers before pioneering crop dusting and topdressing in New Zealand with ex-military De Havilland Tiger Moths which he converted himself for the purpose.
