Established by its founder, Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth, and now
maintained and cared for by the Shuttleworth Trust, the
Shuttleworth Collection is a treasure trove of vintage aircraft
from 1909-1950, as well as historical agricultural and steam
exhibits, veteran cars, classic motorcycles, bicycles, vintage
buses and carriages. Unlike a static museum, almost all the
Shuttleworth Collection aircraft fly, including Edwardian
aircraft, like the 1909 Blériot, which is the world’s oldest
aeroplane and aero-engine combination in flying condition.
Air shows have run at Shuttleworth for over 60 years. An
unparalleled flightline allows visitors to get as close to the
action as you can get in the UK and there are seven shows each
season.
