SHACKLETON 1722 - THE LAST FLYING SHACKLETON MK3 IN THE WORLD

Shackleton 1722 is the last flying Mark 3 in the world today. 

Lovingly restored and maintained by Pottie Potgieter and the gang at Ysterplaat AFB, this film shows the
history of the 'Shacks' in 35 Squadron from delivery in 1958 to today. 

The film includes the background to the aircraft's history and a visit to Newark Air Museum in the UK to see 
Squadron Leader Brian Withers give a rundown on WR977.

Experience a full flight with all the checks and Griffon engine noises, interspersed with interviews
with Pilots, Engineers, Historians and Shackleton people. 

A chapter is dedicated to the 1716 Survivors and their families.
