Description
The Shuttleworth Collection home of the 'Edwardian Flying Machines'!
The Shuttleworth Collection - a unique flying collection showcasing the first one hundred years of flight.
The
Collection is famous for its regular flying displays. During the
season, all of the airworthy aircraft are flown in displays, alongside
visiting aircraft from other operators and from other Services,
re-creating flying during the Edwardian period, the First World War,
the peacetime years of the twenties and thirties and the Second World
War. Modern aircraft are also a regular feature and provide an
intriguing contrast with the veteran and vintage types.
.
Vintage Cars:
Today
the Shuttleworth Collection is displayed in eight hangars, which
include a workshop hangar giving close up views of restoration and
maintenance, a garage displaying the cars, motorcycles and other
vehicles such as the Clayton and Shuttleworth steam traction engine and
a separate coachroom for the horsedrawn carriages. Displays often
include the Collection's veteran and vintage cars, including several
which have regularly completed the London to Brighton run. Old Warden
Aerodrome is also a popular rally venue for car owners' clubs,
particularly for vintage cars.
