EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the Avro Shackleton MR.2 WL788 of the Royal Air Force's No.37 Squadron, resting on the tarmac at RAF Sharjah in the United Arab Emirates, circa 1967. The Avro Shackleton, a versatile maritime patrol aircraft, was a mainstay of the Royal Air Force's fleet during the late 1960s. With its distinctive hump-backed profile and powerful engines, the Shackleton was a formidable presence on the runway. WL788, adorned with the distinctive roundel and markings of No.37 Squadron, sits proudly in this image. The squadron, which was formed in 1951, was known for its expertise in maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare. The Shackleton was an essential tool in the squadron's arsenal, enabling them to carry out long-range patrols over the Gulf and the Indian Ocean. The Avro Shackleton MR.2 was a significant development of the original Shackleton design, featuring improved radar and navigation equipment, as well as more powerful engines. This enabled the aircraft to fly for longer periods and cover greater distances, making it an invaluable asset for the Royal Air Force's maritime patrol operations. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a time when the Avro Shackleton was a vital component of the Royal Air Force's fleet. It is a reminder of the important role that aviation played in protecting the UK's interests during the late 1960s and the crucial part that the Royal Air Force and its aircraft played in maintaining peace and security in the Gulf region.
