Old Warden - Festival of Flight Visitors & Others

Post by Professor_M » Thu Jun 26, 2025 9:15 pm

A trip to Shuttleworth was in order this afternoon to see what visitors for this weekend's Festival of Flight airshow I could catch. Visiting from the continent, the Yak-3, Boomerang, Nieuport and Junkers were all in the Engineering Blister Hangar along with the collection's Hind. Corsair & Flamant were yet to arrive.

Just before closing time the Junkers came out the hangar (also bringing the Nieuport outside briefly too) ready for a photo flight alongside the resident Harbarmobile Dornier over Wimpole, Cambridge, Ely and Grafham Water
