Derelict Shackleton
Image: © Colin Craig Taken: 19 Oct 2008
A derelict Shackleton maritime patrol aircraft at Long Marston airfield near Stratford. It forms part of a long-closed aviation museum and all the exhibits are in neglected condition. The good news is that some - but not the Shack - have been bought by East Midlands aviation museum. The future of the mighty Shack looks grim.
