- Shackleton, Pelican 22 based at Ysterplaat Airforce Base, Cape Town, South Africa.
SAAF 1722, commonly known as 'Pelican 22', was the last airworthy Shackleton MR3. The aircraft is owned by the South African Air Force Museum based at AFB Ysterplaat. It was one of eight Shackletons operated by the South African Air Force from 1957 to 1984. Airworthy but has been grounded for safety and preservation reasons as well as a lack of qualified crew.
An emotional journey for many that came to love this extraordinary aeroplane.
