My father flew Shackletons, didn't like them, thought they were dangerous.

 

Ironic really because he was killed in a flying accident about 10 yards from where that Shackleton now stands, (Newark aviation Museum) but piloting a Chipmunk (1974). I visited the museum last summer, there's a memorial plaque to him at which I laid some flowers.
