- WR963 Avro Shackleton engine run at Coventry airport on the 27th November 2021. Engine 1 & 2 fired up like a dream, 3 & 4 decided to be stubborn but after a stern talking to they also roared into life, enjoy the sound of 4 Rolls Royce Griffon engines running.
Thanks for watching.

will we see on fly in the uk? we had a lot based here in Malta. I wasn't here at the time but would love to see a shack fly
Hopefully in the next few years if all goes well she'll be airworthy again
The WR963 on 8Sqn was not an AEW Aircraft but one of 2 which remained unmodified and used for Pilot Training. Therefore it could have been one of those previously mentioned. It’s all a bit long ago and I am now 80.
After many Years of searching I found the Revell Kit of the AEW.2, 1:72 Scale. That was a couple of Years ago and since it is Level5 I haven’t found the Nerve to build it (and now probably never will !).
@@nicholassiminson2699 WR963 is in full AEW.2 fit as per here use when retired from 8 Squadron in to Coventry.
@@VulcanBomberxm655 THAT (the Aircraft shown in the Video) is NOT an ex-8Sqn Shackleton ! I served on 8Sqn for 8 Years. NONE of 8Sqn Shackletons had Guns in the Nose (or anywhere else for that Matter). Someone is getting a bit mixed-up (and it’s not me).
@@VulcanBomberxm655 AEW2 Aircraft had a huge Bulge under the Nose, where is it ? The “Bulge” is the Radome (inherited from the FAA AEW Gannet) I also served in the FAA for 3 Years + 105 Days. AEW = Airborne Early Warning !
How many Shackletons with the Registration Number WR963 are there ? This is the second one I’ve seen lately !
I served on 8Sqn for 8 Years and we had a WR963 as well ! Something’s not right !
Another Video for “Hangar Pilots” but very nostalgic for me. Thank you
That's a really interesting question, had no idea about a 2nd (or more) shack with the same reg, I'll see what I can find out
You had the same one. WR963 served for 20 years prior to 8 Sqn, the colours she wears currently are her own from 1954.
When reassembled at Elvington, she'll be going back into 8 Sqn's colours though.
Ah Ha ! That’s interesting. I still have some Shackleton Parts in my Shack + some from much older AC.
@@biggles19821 on 8Sqn we had two AC which were not converted to the AEW Roule but were used for Flying Training, 63 must have been one of them. I can’t remember all of the Reg Numbers, it’s now rather a long Time ago !
@@nicholassiminson2699 No, she;s an AEW under the paint, we just took the 'dome off to fake the earlier look.
I think the T2's were WL801 and WL798..
