Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Another lovely afternoon at Old Warden. The Collection has certainly been fortunate with the weather this year! The event was very busy, with the overflow car park being used from about 10.45. From the Shuttleworth Collection website: Our season finale is a fast paced day celebrating Richard’s Shuttleworth’s passion for racing, veteran cars, and vintage aviation! The smell of oil and the roar of engines will bring to Shuttleworth the excitement of mock air races and the Shuttleworth Sprint, along with vintage aircraft flying displays, live music, period paddock and exhibits, visiting car and motorcycle clubs, and fun activities to keep our younger visitors entertained. The Shuttleworth Sprint is a ‘classic’ sprint course along a grass runway. It’s purely fun, non-competitive or timed and no racing licences are required, though some of the world’s finest veteran and vintage race cars and motorcycles will be taking part! Here are a few of my favourites taken with my newish bridge camera. I have really enjoyed not carrying around two heavy DSLRS! In chronological order: I simply adore this PR.XI! It was beautifully displayed by John Romain. Thanks for looking. 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alpha Delta 210 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Thanks Latinbear. It's a shame that the aircraft don't fly "round the bend" anymore, but they still manage more topside passes than other venues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canberraman Posted October 8, 2018 Share Posted October 8, 2018 Grand photos again AD. The quality of shots from that new bridge camera is outstanding. I can see what you mean about the freedom it gives over lugging around a pair of DSLRs Mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if John got any loyalty points for the fuel?🤔🤔 3 hours ago, Max Headroom said: Great line up. Must get there one day...... Trevor Hi Trevor.

I'm pleased you liked the images. Sometimes, it is nice to just enjoy the display without neck/back ache! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
