It was a windy and chilly day at Old Warden for the Shuttleworth first air display of the season. It started overcast but the clouds broke up as the afternoon went on. Although there were one or two no shows those aircraft that did fly made for a great start to the display season. Here is a selection with captions to help identification for those to which it matters. I will post another blog with some of the excitement for us in the morning where the Shuttleworth team put on great stuff for families and others. The headline shot is of the collection’s Bristol Fighter.
