The Big Idea

Most great projects start with a simple idea. From that idea, comes discussion and from discussion, planning. When you have your planning in place, the next step is to begin to implement it and hopefully achieve your goals.

The project that I hope to tell you about in this blog is as follows. I am hoping to raise sufficient financing to build a hanger to permanently house the last remaining airborne Shackleton MK3 in the world - Pelican 1722. This structure will belong to the SA Airforce Museum at Ysterplaat and will provide them with not only a permanent hanger for this amazing aircraft, but also a home for their specialised team of volunteers who lovingly restore and maintain aircraft that would otherwise be lost.

Over the course of this project, I hope to impart a little of my fascination with this plane to you and perhaps even to get you to fall in love with her too. Ultimately of course, I hope to raise sufficient money to complete the task I have set myself.

I hope to see you all back here soon!
