›Wings & Wheels
Our Wings & Wheels event brings together vintage aircraft from from 1909-1950s, and historical vehicles and motorcycles from the Collection. We also welcome a range of visiting car and motorcycle groups, whose members will bring along their own classics.
There will be a full flying display from The Collection and visiting aircraft, with a range of aerobatic displays. As always enjoy plenty of opportunities to photograph some interesting vehicles of all ages, shapes and sizes – with wings and without! It’s the variety on show today that makes our Wings & Wheels event one of the highlights of the Shuttleworth calendar – an event for everyone who is passionate about marvellous old vehicles.
Car and motorcycle groups welcome – please see group booking below.
Pre-1960 registration now available (limited free places) for cars and motorcycles. Please email Helen Woods for a form. Closing date for receipt of returned of forms is 22 August 2016.
