Serving 240, 269, 204 and 37 Sqdns before conversion to T.2 for the MOTU to which it was allocated at the end of 1967, this aircraft ended its service days in 1970 with the St Mawgan Gulf Detachment and finally 210 Sqdn. Struck off in November 1971, it was one of at least three Shackletons sent to the Manston fire school This photo is copyright © Richard Vandervord, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
