11 December 1953 Shackleton MR3 WL746

Note: the MR.3 didn't fly until 1955, unless it was a time machine!

Sorry pete, my mistake it was a MR2 when it crashed. MilborneOne (talk) 17:40, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Mark no's

I have compromised on the mark nos. Contemporaneously they were properly Shackleton MR Mk. 1 etc. etc. Aircraft of the RAF tending to retain the system used when the aircraft was introduced. Henece it is, strictly speaking / writing, incorrect to label the Shack as MR1 etc., which is the current iteration. If there is a conce3nsus the proper abbreviations can be added, any discussion?.

Dont agree, the long form is not really used even by the RAF and it would be more normal to use MR.1 to be contempary. They have not changed the system the long form is still used on Air Publications it is just the short form that has changed with time. Dont have a problem with MR.1 style in a list article.
