Avro Shackleton starting up its engines. Coventry airport.

One of the monthly test runs for the Avro Shackleton plane fire up its engines. Number 1 engine is faulty. Engines 2,3,4 just need a bit of persuasion!!
This is a historical aeroplane and not many of them around now.

Had a couple of Changi-based 205 Sqdn's MR2's on rotational detatchment at Labuan, 1965/6. Nice to see that at least one of these is still in ground-running order.
