The Avro "Shackleton" MR.3 quad-piston-engined aircraft of the RAF, named after a famous Anglo-Irish polar explorer Sir Ernest Henry Shackleton, was developed with the use of some of the components of the Avro "Lincoln" bomber. Variants of the plane had been operated from 1951 to 1990. The aircraft was used in the ASW, maritime patrol and AEW roles. There was also a research-and-rescue (SAR) version of the "Shackleton".
