Shuttleworth, season preview 2007

Sat Apr 21, 2007 6:38 am

Here is my preview of the coming season at Old Warden. Its shaping up nicely, the Gladiator and the Lysander are back in the air and there is the Shuttlewaffe to look forward to.

If you haven’t been yet you have missed Britain’s (nay, the worlds!) best airshow location.

That Fury is certainly one of the best looking biplanes ever built (in my opinion).

Gary, the "Fury" is a Hind, currently the only airworthy example.

Ooops! :oops: Just showed how stupid I am, huh? Well, nevertheless, the Hind is a good lookin' airplane as well! :)

Thanks ladies and gents

It was an amazing few days, I have never known weather like it in April!

The Glad is in new colours, 73 Sqn RAF as reseached by the Shuttleworth Collection and applied by engineer Ian Larriman. Its a wonderful piece of work.
