At last.
OK Polar, that's good enough for me.
A restored Mk.3 Shackleton of the SAAF was returning to the Uk for the first time in 1994. On 8 July 1994 it crashed in the Western Sahara desert with 19 POB - nobody was injured and they were rescued the following day. The aircraft's callsign was Pelican 1716.
The aircraft was replaced the next year by another restored Shackleton Pelican 1722.
