Shuttleworth’s De Havilland DH.88 Comet. It was built specifically to compete in the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race England to Australia which it won. It’s a lovely Aircraft maintained in pristine airworthy condition #MikesAircraftPhotos
Shuttleworth’s Blackburn Type D. Built in 1912, it’s the oldest British built Aeroplane still capable of flight. Very occasionally flown in the evening at the end of Summer Air Shows, when perfect weather conditions allow #MikesAircraftPhotos
My favourite aircraft at Shuttleworth today. The Bucker Jungmeister that flew in yesterday, in Spanish Civil War markings #MikesAircraftPhotos
