Her Ryan Recruit was based at Old Warden airfield around 2012-13 (probably longer, I haven't got exact dates) but was never part of the Shuttleworth collection. She did fly it as a private aircraft during the Shuttleworth Trust Flying Day at Old Warden on April 19, 2013, and likely on other occasions also, but AFAIK she was never a Shuttleworth collection pilot.

The bio is careful not to claim such a thing, just to imply it.
