AVRO SHACKLETON WR963
RETURN TO FLIGHT
PRESERVE
Avro Shackleton WR963 is one of the last two of her type that has the potential to fly again. But as well as our work to preserve her, we're trying to preserve the memory and legacy of the 185 Shackletons built and the men that operated them.
RESTORE
Restoration work is ongoing, and sometimes there's little visual progress. Find out more about WR963, what we're doing, how we're doing it, and more importantly - why.
FLY
