D8096 is the only airworthy F.2b in the Northern hemisphere, with her antipodean sister D8084 in New Zealand's North Island. The Canada Aviation & Space Museum's D7889 has not flown for a couple of years and probably will never take to the skies again.
Although Shuttleworth's Sopwith Pup never had a service serial allocated, G-EBKY is representing an unmarked RFC Pup, one of batch of 53 built by William Beardmore & Co of Dalmuir, Scotland, in 1919, with serials in the 9898-9950 range.
Rob Millinship in the Shuttleworth Avro 504K, representing a 504K(NF) of 77 Home Defence Squadron at RAF Turnhouse in September 1918. E3273 is in the 'Night Invisible Varnish Orfordness' finish. Also of note is the replica Lewis machine gun.
For the 5th anniversary of the 'Victory over Fascism' celebrations at Monino, Moscow in 1950, several Yak-11 trainers were painted in wartime schemes, one being ‘White 52’. Mark Rijkse has his C-11 in these markings.
Lt Cdr Chris Götke wheeling the mighty Sea Fury round the control tower at Shuttleworth. No other piston aero engine can beat the sounds of the big Centaurus XVIII, although a growling Griffon comes close.
Over the past six years, both airframe and Merlin 45 of Shuttleworth's LF.Vc AR501 have been overhauled completely. Its return to the skies over Old Warden is eagerly awaited.
