Shuttleworth race day 2017

Yet again the weather was against us with a reduced air show. The sky was very bland with little or no detail so most of my shots today were on the ground at take off or landing.

Shuttleworth Heritage Day 2017

A very cold and windy day in Old Warden so unfortunately it was a reduced air show with no Edwardian planes taking to the air. Heritage Day celebrates everything that is 'Shuttleworth', including aviation, agriculture, racing, the Swiss Garden, the life of The House and the Shuttleworth Collection. There was a flying display of the Collection’s vintage and rare aircraft and a vehicle parade. Visiting and resident exhibits celebrate 175 years since the founding of the Clayton & Shuttleworth company.

Shuttleworth Edwardian Pageant

Including The Red arrows and The Breitling wing walkers to name a few. This is a relatively small venue, where flying feels closer to the crowd than in some bigger airfields, even since the change in the regulations. The venue also has a mansion, Shuttleworth House, which is usually open to visitors for at least part of airshow days, park-like gardens (Swiss garden) and huge children's outdoor play area. Old Warden is home to the Shuttleworth Collection of planes from both world wars and earlier, including original pioneering aircraft such as the Bleriot (identical to the one that made the first crossing of the English Channel). There are around 40 airworthy planes in eight hangars.The collection is on static display most days throughout the year. There are significant flying events about monthly between May and October, ranging from daytime full airshows to evening proms and additional smaller events
