Shuttleworth Autumn Air Display 2005
Making a welcome return to the calendar was the Shuttleworth Collection’s Autumn Air Display. There was no Autumn show in 2004 due to the runway works that should enable the collections De Havilland Comet to operate from Old Warden in the future.
Old Warden’s luck with the weather thankfully continued for it’s very last show of the 2005 season. As with every show at Old Warden, the whole day was very relaxed. As well as a very full list of the Collection’s own aircraft, the display welcomed BAC Jet Provost T3 G-BKOU, Kennet Aviation’s Westland Wasp and a Druine Turbi. The show was also notable as it was the last before Supermarine Spitfire Vc AR501 disappeared from the flying roster for deep maintenance.
