Description
The Shuttleworth Collection - A Celebration of Flight
The Shuttleworth Collection was founded in 1928 by Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth. It is in a quiet countryside setting, actually on an old fashioned all grass aerodrome with eight hangars. These hangars comprise an aeroplane engineering workshop, a garage and coachroom, and the remainder house the world famous collection of over 40 aircraft.
A number of vehicles, motorcycles and bicycles can also be viewed in the newly built hangar 7 extension.
The Collection of Historic vehicles and aeroplanes is unique in that everything is kept in working condition and are demonstrated at events throughout the year.
