До вооружения ракетами Blue Steel экипажи отрабатывали высотное бомбометание. 29 марта 1972 года часть расформировали, но 1 ноября 1973 года сформировали вновь в том же авиакрыле в Скэмтоне. На вооружение поступили морские разведчики Vulcan B.Mk 2MRR (фото). Эти самолеты в полетах на разведку взаимодействовали с заправщиками Victor SR. Mk 2 из 543-й эскадрильи, дислоцированной в Вайтоне. Разведчики B.Mk 2MRR оставались на вооружении 27-й эскадрильи вплоть до ее окончательного расформирования. Эмблема эскадрильи в виде слона появилась еще в 1915 году, когда на вооружении состояли истребители Martinsyde G. 100, в период с 1920 no 1946 год эскадрилья базировалась в Индии.

ВВС ЮАР были единственным, кроме британских ВВС, эксплуатантом Shackleton - восемь машин Mk 3 в 1957 году поступили в 35-ю эскадрилью, летавшую до того на Neptune. По ряду причин, преимущественно политических (было введено эмбарго), самолеты эксплуатировались бессменно в течение 27 лет. В 1984 году они были сняты с вооружения, на их место пришли самолеты MR Dakota, прозванные "Dakleton".
