Great photos from GAM - our beloved #WR977 is a key player in the #NAMopenCockpit team & one of our key guides flew the aircraft in service before transferring onto Nimrods, both MRs & R1s.

We believe the Royal motorcade was passing in front of our #Shackleton aircraft at an RAF Review at RAF Finningley - dated pre-1977 as we had to move it from that location prior to the Silver Jubilee Review #WR977 dismantling photos attached!
Our #WR977 proudly boasts to old Shackleton adage of "four turning & two burning", as it's a Mk3 Phase 3 & has the Vipers fitted in the outboard nacelles!
Some say an even better sound, albeit only briefly!! ๐

A slight tangent but here goes with our Griffons!

Some #Shackleton comments re our Christmas opening graphic & lot's of details on the history of our #WR977 which ended up as a nuclear capable Mk3 Phase 3 can be found in these two self-published books + lots of the phase mods were completed at the Avro facility at Langar in South #Nottinghamshire
