Operated by 203 Squadron, based Luqa. Note feathered No.1 engine. Seen landing runway 24, this was one of the last flights of WR986. The aircraft was later transferred to 137 Maintenance Unit at Safi where extensive damage was caused to control cables and wiring by rats! It was scrapped on site and written off on 1 September 1971.

One of my early photo's taken with a "Brownie 127" camera. Bit of a dull day so that didn't help! The a/c had just completed compass swings on the southern aerodrome boundary and was being towed back to 49 MU. Written Off 8th December 1965, when it crashed into the Moray Firth

This is the former South African Air Force 1723. The successor to Vic de Villiers' Viking, that left the roof in 1987 and ended up in the SAA museum. First flown in February 1958 and on the way to Ysterplaat within a few days. Eventually grounded by late 1977, having expended her fatigue life. On display here initially in original SAAF colours, later red as well as canary yellow and in the shown livery since at least 2010.

Entered service in 1958. While undergoing maintenance at RAF Safi, Malta, rats caused so much damage to the wiring and control cables that the aircraft was declared a write-off on 1 September 1971 and scrapped on site.

Dumped at Long Marston per Photo ID: 42382. Reportedly moved to Newquay Airport in September 2020 and will be restored by the RAF for a collection in Russia. (Owing to 2022 events in Ukraine, this is unlikely to happen.)

This Shackleton became famous 14 years after this picture was taken. After it had been withdrawn from use in 1990, it was restored into flying condition. On 12 July 1994, it took off headed for England to take part in several airshows, flown by active SAAF pilots. Unfortunately, the aircraft had to make a belly landing in the Western Sahara on July 13th and subsequently was written off. The aircraft still remains there, slowly being burried under the sand.
