This was the last Shackleton Mk3 in RAF service, and was flown from St Mawgan to Henlow on 23 September 1971 to be preserved for the RAF Museum. It was however scrapped in July 1975 without ever going on display. This photo is copyright © Chris England, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
