That’s it folks, the final Shuttleworth Collection display of the season.

I’ll let the aircraft do the talking.

Befire I do I mut pass on my own thanks to all the Pilots, Engineers, Volunteers, FISOs Admin Staff, restaurant staff and last but not least fourm members who have helped to make this years season at Old Warden so superb.

I’m off to hibernate!

The Bleriot was amazing, I’ve never seen it fly so well. Usually it barely manages a hop or two, this time it flew down the runway twice, the second time was the first time for many years that the pilot had to throttle back and fly it! It usually just stops flying.

What an end to a superb season.

That head-on shot of the Nieuport (?) is amazing!

Thanks,

Nick, that is nice!

I really liked the Spit's shot where you see it diving out of a loop...
