Great video, thanks for sharing. I think the last flying Shack has finished its hours. Great shame.

P1722 is still flying in Cape Town at AFB Ysterplaat. It is a mk3 phase3 non-viper mod airframe

Are these engine carbureted or Fuel Injected can you tell me/ I wish they could make DC-7 new with Rolls Royce AE2100 Turbo props and NP200 8-Blade Propellers would be niece.

Hardly any smoke on start? Dont recall that in service but then I used to be involved straight after maintenance and engine changes. Are there not some in South Africa still flying? This is a Mk3 with the nose gear config and may have the RR Vipers.
