Just happened to look at the live feed on the BBC of the search for MH370 and in the email-txt side part running on the side of the page was a number of messages and one caught my eye. Nev Cooper, retired RAF Coastal Command Master Aircrew emails: So RAAF aircraft out of RAAF Pearce near Perth only have a 9 to 10 hour airborne time, giving only two to three hours on search site. What a shame the British in their wisdom scrapped all the RAF Avro Shackletons and the Hawker Sidley Nimrods. The Shackleton had an almost 24-hour airborne search capability. I flew 21 hours and 20 mins in the MK2 Shackleton now in the MOSI Museum in central Manchester.
