???  Is it just me, am I the only sad lonely person who would like to fly a decent Shackleton?  Does anybody know where I can find a download for this grand old lady (apart from the Alphasim freeware, thanks guys, but...yuk!)?

Found him.  Project Shackleton, a nice gentleman from South Africa.  Early shots look encouraging, and he's linked up with the boys at DSB, so we should get some taildraggers as well.  Fingers crossed for the AEW2.  :o

Andy your not alone.  :)
The Shackleton was a wonderful aircraft, my dad was a machanic for the RAF in 1952 at RAF St Mawgan. He maintained the Mk2 version which was based there for several years.

Good day all!

We are indeed busy with a Shackleton  ;D The website is down at the moment due to a hacking session. We started the model from scratch again due to the 1st designer not responding to e-mails for the past 3 months or so. Will keep you all updated in my forums.
