Old Warden - The Shuttleworth Collection

Plenty of open space, flat areas and ramps in the hangars; 3 wheelchairs available best to phone in advance.

Flying displays are usually held on the last Sunday in the month from April to October, weather permitting. The Shuttleworth Collection was established by Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth's mother in memory of her son. Richard was a keen racing driver, pilot and collector who joined the RAF prior to the Second World War being declared. He was killed in a flight training accident in 1940. His personal collection of cars, motorcycles and aircraft forms the basis of The Shuttleworth Collection. The first item in the collection was a 1932 de Havilland Moth, and exhibits now include a 1942 Spitfire in flying condition, many cars, motorcycles, bicycles and horse drawn vehicles. Flying displays are held throughout the year, usually in the Spring, Summer and Autumn months.
