The worlds oldest flying Spitfire displayed as did the only Mk1a Spitfire – with a cockpit minicam.

As if that were not enough the event boasted the only Hurricane Mk1, a genuine Battle of Britain veteran.

RAF Valley in Anglesey is home to the historic No 4 Flying Training School, Strike Commands Air to Air Missile Establishment and also search and rescue helicopters.

The show naturally attracted a big contingent of current and historical RAF types and we include these in Part II including the RAF Valley Solo Display Hawk.

In Part I we show the foreign participants including the national aerobatic teams of Italy and Chile and also some rare privately owned ex-military jets, all of which saw service at Valley at some stage.

The Shuttleworth Collection is unique in the fact that their museum exhibits fly. The Collection's aeroplanes currently span from the beginning of aviation history to teh Second World War.That's why airshows at Old Warden are particularly special, and on a hot and sunny day on June 6th 1993 the COllection's aeroplanes were joined by many other aircraft, includingthe P40 Kittyhawk, P38 Lightning and the Messerschmitt Me 109G - three rare airshow performers.With record crowds spectating we were treated to a truly vintage event.

The home of the RAF's Aerospace Museum commemorated the UK arrival of the USAF 50 years ago and welcomed "Diamond Lil", a B24 Liberator bomber from Texas joined by the P38 Lightning, P51 Mustang and B17 Flying Fortress. WWII RAF aircraft included two Hurricanes and a Spitfire. The Gnat and Hunter vintage jets also featured.

The Shuttleworth Collection is home to over 30 aircraft from the earliest pioneers, through WWI and the record breaking 20's and 30's to the heroic Spitfire of WWII.

But what makes Shuttleworth unique is that most of tehir aircraft actually fly! They're joined by a variety of vintage and modern types at a series of themed flying events at their beautiful and photogenic airfield (Old Warden) in Bedfordshire.
