EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Royal Air Force's Avro Shackleton MR.3 Phase 3, specifically XF701, adorned with the distinctive Armstrong Siddeley Viper auxiliary turbojet engines installed under the outboard engine nacelles. The Shackleton MR.3 Phase 3 was a significant development in maritime patrol aircraft technology during the 1960s. XF701 was delivered to the Royal Air Force on September 17, 1958, and later transferred to the Manston Fire School on August 13, 1971. Tragically, the aircraft met its end in 1975. The Armstrong Siddeley Viper engines were an innovative addition to the Shackleton MR.3, providing extra power and enhancing its capabilities in search and rescue and maritime patrol missions. The Avro Shackleton MR.3 Phase 3 was a testament to the Royal Air Force's commitment to advancing aviation technology and its dedication to safeguarding the nation's shores. This photograph, from The Peter Butt Aviation Collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the power and grace of this iconic aircraft.
