THE SHUTTLEWORTH COLLECTION, OLD WARDEN, BEDFORDSHIRE.
I drove past this place twice a day, five days a week for about six years. The weather forecast for Sunday was not at all good so I decided to take Alex and William to have a look at this collection of planes and small selection of road transport. On non flying days the entry fee is £7.50 for adults and under 16's get in free, and it takes a good 2 - 3 hours to have a good look round. The collection boasts that every plane it has is still flown regularly. I am not all that interested in the names of planes but if I can name any I will eventually get around to doing it.
Hi Allen
The plane is a Bristol M1c it is a reproduction built from the original plans, I think the rotary engine is original.
Being a mono plane it did not find many fans in WW1, It was used by the RFC and as a fighter trainer.
Jim,
I love this collection of photos. I've always enjoyed WW1 airplanes and your shots are outstanding. I don't recognize the plane in pix dscf2492 can you tell me more about it? Great gallery,
Allen
