Shuttleworth Autumn Air Day pics

[Man-on-the-fence]

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.

An excellent selection there Nick, like the JP shots!

[vintage ATCO]

Great pictures, Nick, and a great season.

Thanks for all your efforts.

Marvellous!

Many thanks, Nick. What a glorious series of high notes to round off your scintillating season.

[treadigraph]

Fantastic selection! My favourite is the Pup against the sun - wonderful contrast and a burst of colour as well.

To my everlasting shame, I didn't get to Shuttleworth this year, but I'll be back next year!

[TheBeeKeeper]

Fantastic images, personal favourites have to be the flaming exhaust on the Hurricane startup and the Pup when Andy most definitely scored you as a kill!

Thanks Darren

The good news is that you don't have to!!

Beautiful beautiful pictures. I have the diving Spitfire on my desktop.

Well done Nick.
