Heading towards the end of a tour of the UK, had to visit Shuttleworth, of course
renowned for it’s unbelievable collection of vintage aeroplanes. First a look at
what was parked up outside.

When we showed up and got word the Harvard was about to take off for a
photo shoot of a Hurricane.

No prise for who gueses the pilot of the Hurricane and the photographer.

Shuttleworth just a great location for photography, the back drops, the light
and of course the subject matter, priceless!

Harvard backtracking past the tower.

Getting all arty and going for a wartime look-a-like shot of the Hurricane.

Some more of the gems inside shortly...........

Awesome photos, makes me want to go back...! Isn't it just an awesome collection in a perfect setting!?!

So the big question... did the wife: hate it / tolerate it / like it / love it? <delete those not applicable>

Yes a great place and the setting perfect, the wife, well I have a head start because she is keen on
aeroplanes, she did 20 odd trips in a Sandringham as a child and teenager. She likes aeroplanes
but doesn't love them. My tactic is to always stay somewhere where there is something for her to
do. In saying this she loved Shuttleworth, all the old stuff and as you say the setting, who wouldn't?

So to answer your question she like/semi loved Shuttleworth!

Great to see, that long hot summer of 2018 seems so long ago. I was in the UK at the same time as you so we must have crossed paths. Photos from the Shuttleworth Military Pageant held at the beginning of the month.
