Shuttleworth Collection Season Premiere | 2023

One of the main themes for this year's Shuttleworth Collection Season Premiere was King Charles III's coronation, which took place the day before the show. This theme featured the display of De Havilland Chipmunk WP903, known as 'The Royal Chipmunk'. It was the aircraft of which the then Prince Charles learned to fly in! The little red light on top was a modification to warn others to keep their distance when the Prince was flying it. Other notable highlights include the first public display in civilian hands for the Westland Lynx AH.7, three flypasts by the Avro Lancaster and the return to the air show circuit for the Fairy Swordfish. The extended videos (in 4K) for the Lancaster and the Lynx can be found below: ► Lancaster -    • [4K] Avro Lancaster flypasts at Old Warden...   ► Lynx -    • [4K] Westland Lynx AH.7 G-NCKS | First pub...   Display skip: 0:00 - Fairy Swordfish arrival 0:15 - DH.88, Mew Gull & Hawk Speed Six depart 0:53 - G-SVAS banner lift (upside down... whoops!) 1:10 - DH.88, Mew Gull and Hawk Speed Six display 2:58 - Tiger Moth start up 3:07 - Bristol F.2B Fighter 4:17 - 'The Royal Chipmunk' 5:21 - Avro Lancaster B.1 flypast 5:42 - Westland Lynx AH.7 6:50 - Fairy Swordfish taxi 7:12 - DH.51 & Avro Tutor 7:37 - DH.60, DH.82 & Southern Martlet taxi 8:08 - Fairy Swordfish display 9:57 - Southern Martlet departure 10:07 - Stinson Reliant taxi 10:16 - DH.60, DH.82 & Southern Martlet 10:23 - Fairy Swordfish taxi 10:47 - DH.60, DH.82 & Southern Martlet 11:12 - Gloster Gladiator 11:54 - Westland Lysander 12:42 - Avro 504K aborted take-off 12:57 - Sopwith Triplane 14:14 - Polikarpov Po-2 14:42 - Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5a 15:21 - Sopwith Pup 15:48 - Sopwith Pup & S.E.5a 16:04 - S.E.5a landing 16:42 - The Red Devils Parachute Display Team 19:01 - Avro Triplane & Bristol Boxkite 21:14 - English Electric Wren Don't forget to check out my other social media sites: ► INSTAGRAM: @aviation_highlights ► TWITTER: @av_highlights ► TIKTOK: @aviationhighlights ► FACEBOOK:   / aviahighlights   Copyright © Aviation Highlights 2023
