Sh2-188 is thought to be an ancient planetary nebula in the galactic disk .
It appears to be one-sided with recent observations revealing structure behind the filamentary limb .
We postulate that Sh2-188 is interacting with the ISM and simulate it in terms of a “ triple-wind ” model comprising of the usual “ fast ” and “ slow ” interacting stellar winds plus the wind due to motion through the ISM .
We have run simulations at various velocities of the central star relative to the ISM and find that a high velocity of 125 \mathrm { kms } ^ { -1 } best approximates the observed structure .
We also suggest that Sh2-188 is younger than previously thought and that much of the mass lost on the AGB has been swept downstream .
