1717 was one of the first two of Shackletons delivered to the SAAF on 18 August 1957, the other was 1716/J. The aircraft were supposed to painted in alphabethcial order starting with 1716 as J and ending with Q on 1723. However, the squadron commander at the time Commandant M J Uys requested that his machine was given the code O as that was his wartime code letter. 1717/O was retired with the rest of the fleet in 1984 and put on display at the Midmar Dam in Natal and later moved to Stanger, KwaZulu-Natal.

1723/Q was in the last batch of three Shackletons handed over to the SAAF 26 February 1958. After retirement she was put on display at Vic's Garage on the Golden Highway in Armadale in Johannesburg. Initially in full SAAF colours. After a while the codes, roundels and fin flash were removed as seen here. Then she was turned into a very red Coca-Cola commercial and later a blue and yellow Sasol promotion. Photographer unknown

Other than the RAF, the SAAF was the only other user of the Avro Shackleton. Eight MR 3s were ordered in 1954 with deliveries in 1957 and 1958. Two were lost in accidents; 1718/K in 1963 and 1716/J in 1994. 1722/P or Pelican P, was delivered 26 February 1958. She served with 35 Sqd until retired in 1984. After the loss of 1716, 1722 was refurbished to flying condition with the SAAF Museum Historical Flight at AFB Ysterplaat. She is now on display at the SAAF Museum Ysterplaat. Seen here on approach to Cape Town International with Major Dagg flying. Photographer unknown

Other than the RAF, the SAAF was the only other user of the Avro Shackleton. Eight MR 3s were ordered in 1954 with deliveries in 1957 and 1958. Two were lost in accidents; 1718/K in 1963 and 1716/J in 1994. 1722/P or Pelican P, was delivered 26 February 1958. She served with 35 Sqd until retired in 1984. After the loss of 1716, 1722 was refurbished to flying condition with the SAAF Museum Historical Flight at AFB Ysterplaat. She is now on display at the SAAF Museum Ysterplaat. Photographer unknown

This Shackleton became famous in 1994. After being withdrawn from use in 1990, it was restored into flying condition and left South Africa for the UK on 12 July 1994 to take part in the air show season. It was flown by active SAAF pilots. En route the aircraft suffered several technical problems and had to make a forced landing in the Western Sahara the following day and was subsequently written off. The aircraft still remains in the desert, slowly being buried under the sand. Photographer unknown
