Shackleton "Uncle Potties"

Warrant Officer Class 1 Henry James Potgieter, Shackleton flight engineer is standing next to his pride and joy. I had the honour of flying in his "lady" today. It was awesome. You board this "old lady" and you are in another world. All the instruments are original and a mixture of smells, oils, fuel, old leather and the noise... amazing. Oom(uncle) Pottie had to have the Shackleton ready for an air display at the annual African Airospace and Defence Expo held (this year) in Cape Town, South Africa. I used a 12-24mm wide lens to capture the pride in that face!
