Shuttleworth Spring Air Display - image heavy
Mon May 04, 2009 7:07 am
At long last after waiting through the wintery months the airshow season has begin in style.
We were very lucky to have Richard Shuttleworths Alfa-Romeo return to Old Warden for the first time. This was the car with which he won the British Grand Prix, he flew in his Moth G-EBWD to Donington Park so it was fitting that we reunited the two.
The car is very photogenic as well
to Mr and Mrs Alfa-Romeo a daughter, Benzina!
Old Warden had a record crowd
On with the flying, an early morning Sea Hurricane flight
The visiting Catalina
the Hangar 11 P40 looked magnificent in its (temporary) filming colours
Smile for the camera
Finally, after the show the Kennet T6 went up
A wonderful day with a record crowd.

Wow! That looks fantastic. Wish I could figure out how to get a crowd that big.

Nick, I was hoping the Hangar 11 Hawk would turn up. Neat move on their part displaying her in the movie "warpaint" (and thanks for sharing your pics).
I read somewhere that the P-40 mock-ups are being sold off. Any talk from this weekend about who might acquire them?

The Blackburn B2 is gorgeous in her polished glory, nice to see something off the beaten path. Whassup with the P-40?
Looks like some "mad modeler" went a bit ape with the 'blackwash'?

I love the OD T-6! Were some of the 6's that were assigned to fighter groups etc. painted this way?
