This week has been the Training Week for Shuttleworth pilots at Old Warden. For the paltry sum of £2, I had a great time there today watching them practice their routines, including the crazy flying. Some of the aircraft flew several times and the sightlines were clear for taking pictures. Doubtless Damien will post some of his materpieces later. Here are a few of my humble efforts for starters.
Aircraft flying:
Hurricane
Hind
Gladiator
SE5A
Avro 504
Magisters
Tiger Moth
Chipmunk
Avro 19
Desoutter
ANEC II
Hawker Cygnet.
First pic is the ANEC landing. Look how little forward view the pilot has got!

For all the fact that the Desouter is imaculate it is still an ugly machine – interesting though
