8 FEBRUARY 1952 FLIGHT 11 For 1000 MILES TO GO Patrolling thousands of square miles of lonely sea is a hard assignment for any aircraft and crew, especially when a dangerous attack may have to be pressed home against a flak-firing sub. At times like these it's good to have four powerful engines . . . good to know that should flak knock out one, or even two engines you can still wing your way surely back to base. Four engine reliability is one reason why Coastal Command has given production orders for the new Shackleton patrol/sub-hunter, a true fighting descendant of the famous Avro Lancaster and Lincoln bombers. With deadly armament, and accurate, long range radar, the Avro Shackleton is a steadfast, far-seeing comrade-in-arms for the anti-submarine ships of the Royal Navy and Merchant Marine. AVRO SHMLETON A. V. ROE & COMPANY LIMITED, MANCHESTER MEMBER OF THE HAWKER SIDDELEY GROUP / PIONEER . . . AND WORLD LEADER IN AVIATION
