The two Shackletons departed on a routine exercise off Fastnet Rock on the southwest Irish coast. The two maritime patrol aircraft took off from RAF St Eval at 10:14 and 10:20 respectively to carry out search exercises as part of their 15-hour patrol. Radio messages received from the two airplanes through 20:00 that night indicated that they were flying at the prescribed distance from one another, despite their having departed St. Eval with only six minutes' separation. From 20:58 all contact was lost. A three-day search was conducted, but both aircraft remained missing without a trace, leading to the assumption that there had been a mid-air collision. In 1966, the starboard outer (#4) engine of WL743 was recovered about 75 miles north of where authorities had long assumed the collision had occurred. *22 December 1955 Shackleton MR.2 ''WL799'' was destroyed in a hangar fire at Langar.〔 *7 December 1956 Shackleton MR.3 ''WR970'' a trials aircraft crashed at Foolow, Derbyshire, all four on board killed.〔 *14 September 1957 Shackleton MR.2 ''WL792'' of No. 224 Squadron RAF crashed during an air display at Gibraltar.〔 *10 January 1958 Shackleton T.4 ''VP259'' of the Maritime Operational Training Unit, RAF crashed at Haldon Hil, Elgin, both crew on board killed. *9 December 1958 Shackleton MR.1 ''VP254'' of No. 205 Squadron RAF crashed into the South China Sea.,〔 all 10 on board killed. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「List of accidents and incidents involving the Avro Shackleton」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
