    As a teenager growing up in Cape Town, I'd be out surfing and watching these lovely planes flying out to sea on patrol. Loved watching them.

    The British Shackleton's you see in the picture's are Mk2 a improved version of the Mk 1 the original aircraft designed from the late 1940's and they both had tail wheel arrangement. They were both phased out and replaced with this aircraft the Mk 3 that was given a nose wheel as the length of the fuselage had been increased. The Mk 2 however out lasted the Mk3 and was later brought back into service as the AEW 2 (Airborne Early Warning) that the one everyone remembers with the big chin mounter radar, they stayed in service until the early 1990's.I don't know if the South Africans had them but in the British Mk 3's had two Viper jet engines housed one behind each of the out board griffons that had a electrically operated air scoop this help take-off with max all up weight.

    Just a shame they couldn't have maintained Pelican 16 as well as this one, then maybe it wouldn't have ended up crashing in the Sahara desert!

      Tricycle landing gear allows for a shorter landing space and better visibility while taxiing. This was one of a few modifications requested by the South African Air Force.
