Me, I'm dishonest, and you can always trust a dishonest man to be dishonest.
Honestly, it's the honest ones you have to watch out for!!!

Forgive my ignorance but what is that "spark plug" on the top of Shackleton fuselages ?
Do not condemn the judgement of another because it differs from your own. You may both be wrong.

IIRC it's aerial for one of the ECM systems Chris, but I don't know which one in particular. I've never seen it on any other type either.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)
