Shuttleworth Collection, Aviation museum in Old Warden, England
The Shuttleworth Collection contains six large hangars displaying numerous aircraft, vintage vehicles, and agricultural machinery from different time periods spanning over a century.
Richard Shuttleworth initiated the collection during the 1930s by gathering and restoring historical aircraft at Old Warden Park until his death in 1940.
The collection maintains functional aircraft from the early 1900s through the 1950s, demonstrating the progression of aviation engineering and design throughout these periods.
The museum opens with extended hours from February through October, and admission tickets remain valid for thirty days except during special events.
Engineers and specialists maintain every exhibit in working condition, allowing visitors to observe vintage aircraft performing actual flights during regular demonstrations.
