Not the Shackleton
1 - This was the last in a long line of it’s type developed by this nation.
2- 4 engine
3 - For it’s time and type very fast
4 - Development of a new technology doomed it.

11 the first 2 prototypes had significant anhedral in thewing. This was eliminated in the preproduction aircraft.
12 Initial purposewas as a strategic nuclear bomber.

You have to think a little outside the box on this one. Thistype doesn’t show up much on this site.
13 The prototype and pre-production aircraft had verypleasant and docile handling characteristics so it was very surprising that thefirst production aircraft had developed some very nasty handling traits.
14 By the time it was ready to be introduced operationally thenew technology mentioned in 4 had surpassed it and the program was cancelled.

Pilotal; you have come up with a great question. I don't want to take the lead right now, because I'm hoping to go hunting next week, but I'm really getting tempted. Again, a great question and a .... Well, I don't want to give anything away. Thanks; Ernie P.

You got it ZIPPOME !!! The Seamaster was a great closer to a huge and largely unheralded part of Naval Aviation history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_P6M_SeaMaster

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Ok, I thought i'd post a question before I nod off in a nice Christmas Nap!
1. Twin Engines.
2. Monoplane.
3. The plane was first designed to do one job, but was purposed to do other tasks.
4. It was designed to meet a specification to do one thing differently than it's peers.
5. That specification was later dropped, but not because it didn't work.
Ok, That's it for now!
Thanks!

5. That specification was later dropped, but not because it didn't work.
6. Suffered from a high loss rate, but not due to any fault of the aircraft.
7. Although it was designed for one purpose, it was put into production to serve another. But not until some changes were made.
Ok, That's it for now!

8. This aircraft went through many design changes during it's development.
9. Some include :
a) Straight wing to swept.
b) V tail to conventional.
c) Horizontal Stabilizer going from having dihedral to anhedral.
d) Also the wingtips needed some work, and wing fences had to be added.

10. When the replacement aircraft was put into service, this plane was kept in service to be used in a support role to overcome a deficiency in the new aircraft.
11. It shares it's name with at least one other military aircraft. (of an older vintage)
