VIDEO: Shuttleworth Air Pageant 2010

I visited the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden for their ‘Air Pageant 2010’ air display last Sunday and have posted my film of the event on YouTube in HD and taking advantage of the new 15 minute length feature.

In addition to the usual suspects like the Hurricane, Hind, Tutor, Bristol F2B etc the collection flew a number of their other aircraft which I haven’t seen in the air for a few years. The Lympne Trials were highlighted with the ANEC, DH53 Humming Bird and Hawker Cygnet being flown and there was a quartet of de Havillands, the DH51 ‘Miss Kenya’, DH82A Tiger Moth and the two resident Moths, both the DH60G and DH60X models. Also the four Miles aircraft flew too with the resident Falcon, two Magisters and the Southern Martlet being seen. The Parnall Elf, with its characteristic strutting was flown as was the newly restored Storch which gave an extraordinary display of slow flying while the BBMF Lancaster was seen in three flypasts looking just magnificent. The last scene is of the non-airworthy Desoutter monoplane being pushed back towards its hangar.

I hope everyone enjoys the film, just click on the link below.

Lance, you’re going to have to get yourself down there one of these days. Videos don’t waft the heady aroma of toasted castor oil up your nostrils.

Even the clever people at YouTube can’t reproduce ambience..i bet it was a great day

Many of these flying machines I know nothing about but I enjoyed every minute of your video – a free trip across the pond to nicely end another busy day at work 🙂
Great display of the Gladiator, the Lancaster and the Hurricane.
Thanks for sharing.
