Ep.209 - Cold War Coastal Command Avro Shakleton MR2 WR693

Listen Later

There is a Shackleton that still ‘Growls’ and this chapter features Shackleton MR2 WR963, currently based at Coventry but with a major project underway to move her to Elvington and the Yorkshire Air Museum.

We speak to Richard Woods the driving force

behind the project all about the aircraft and how to engineer the airframe when very few original engineers are still with us.

Recorded 25th July 2024
