|
These pictures were taken at the Shuttleworth Collection evening air display on
Saturday 23rd September 2006.
Click on each picture to open the full-size (mostly 1200x900) version in a new window. BELOW: One of several de Havilland Tiger Moths at the display.  BELOW: The Ryan PT-22, which was the U.S. Army Air Corps' first monoplane primary trainer.   BELOW: The Comper Swift, designed by Flt Lt Nicholas Comper in 1929 as an air racer. This example dates from 1932.  BELOW: A modern replica of a 1924 Hawker Cygnet (front). This was the first aircraft designed by Sydney Camm, designer of the Spitfire, and it carries the registration G-CAMM in his honour. Behind it is a 1930 Southern Martlet, of which only six were built.  BELOW: Another view of the Martlet and Cygnet replica, with the control tower in the background. The spectators on the right are standing at the left-hand end of the flightline, looking towards the grass runway.  BELOW: The Grace Spitfire. Built in 1944 as a single seat fighter and designated ML407, it was later converted to a two-seat trainer for the Irish Air Corps.  BELOW: A 1955 Percival Provost T1. The Provost was used as the RAF's basic trainer from 1953 to 1961.    BELOW: An Avro 504K, a very successful WWI training aircraft. Some were also used as fighters to defend against German air raids. This example dates from 1918.    BELOW: A 1933 Avro Tutor. The Tutor replaced the Avro 504 in RAF service, and this aircraft is the sole surviving example.    BELOW: The Avro Tutor and a Tiger Moth waiting at the start of the runway.  BELOW: Tiger Moth in flight and after landing.   BELOW: The 1924 ANEC II, in flight, landing and being moved back to the hangar by Shuttleworth volunteers.      BELOW: The Hawker Cygnet replica in action.      BELOW: Tiger Moth taxiing towards the crowd line.  BELOW: Two 1939 examples of the Miles Magister, a trainer which first entered service with the RAF in 1937.    BELOW: The DHC1 Chipmunk, produced by de Havilland (Canada) Ltd. The prototype flew in 1946, and this 1952 example is flown in Royal Canadian Air Force livery.   BELOW: Hawker Sea Hurricane 1B, a navalised version of the famous fighter.  BELOW: A replica of the 1910 Bristol Boxkite, originally built for the 1965 film Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines, flies off into the sunset.  |
