A selection from the Shuttleworth evening display this Saturday. The weather did conspire to “turn the lights of” just as the main display started.

Beginning with a tribute to all the Pushers and Pullers ho make things happen. Everyone, Engineers and Pilots included, mucks in. It’s a real team effort.

The display was superb considering the conditions.

Its a 1912 Blackburn Monoplane, the oldest flying British Built aircraft.

All of the Flyable Edwardians were displayed, the Bristol Boxkite, Avro Triplane and Blackburn monoplane. The Former two being replicas built for the film Those Maginicent Men in their Flying Machines.
