Bleriots make good rubber powerecd free flight models.

Clouston and his companion came close to death due to carb icing conditions on one of their record breaking flights. The chances were against them avoiding the mountains...they just had to keep circling in the fog, unable to gain height. Horrendous.

My favorite...I know Fokker...right, but the SE5-A. Thanks

WoW. I need to visit that museum!

Fabulous aeroplane thanks for keeping it in its element.

I love the sad anorak in the red anorak. Classic long shorts, backpack, big boots and a cameras in a case! Maybe he's an actor playing a part.

Welcome I got a gift for Shuttleworth Richard Ormond's centenary birth and now I have it

I imported a fairly accurate model of this aircraft into CFS 2. Seems to have the same buttery smooth handling of the original. I follow the advice of your Gladiator pilot regarding takeoff and landing. Failure to do so often ends in a spectacular crash. When flown in simulated combat visibility and maneuverability are very good. In a dogfight none of the high performance aircraft in the game can touch it and I'm just an armchair pilot.

Actually the visibility from the cockpit is a LOT better than I imagined it'd be. I always wondered what an Inline engine on the Gladiator would have resulted in. The Italians installed one on a single CR-42 and the performance hike nearly put it up with Monoplanes of the time.

Always a favourite of mine.

So fragile to handle!

A Fokker EIII couldn't do that, you need ailerons which the EIII didn't have, Immelmann was named in honour of Max Immelmann, but he never flew one.

Those aren't ailerons, kids!

I never saw the RPM needle move a bit. 🤷🏽‍♂️

One of my desires, should I ever get my pilot's licence, is to fly a Shuttleworth aircraft. Been obsessed with the lot as a kid!

No ear protection! I fly a Camel and have operated a CAMS rotary on the ground display and from that experience my hearing barley passes the medical exam for my pilot license. WEAR EAR PROTECTION WITH ROTARY ENGINES.

Bleriot XI pilot chat Shuttleworth Collection LOVE LOUIS SHIRLEY

This, and the Pup, to me are some of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed.

Absolutely incredible I would love to see this on the Avro triplane next!!

It’s almost looks surreal, going seemingly so slow and yet flying. Thanks for sharing!

Beautiful! And brilliantly flown too.

I have been to the Shuttleworth airshow many times but never have managed to see these beauties flying. Great video with a unique perspective

This just makes my heart skip a beat! Thank you Shuttleworth. 🤩

School Boy error Frank ! x15 years ago was when exactly please - date should be specified ! However, the rest was absolutely superb ! Thank you.

Love the Gladiator but would like to know - does the bi plane design compromise the pilots situational awareness? Watching this it seems like quite a lot of sky is blanked out? Thanks for any come its on this,

Awesome video folks, lets have lots more (:+}

Amazing footage!...I need to visit Shuttleworth!👍🙂

Amazing perspectives!

They look like beautiful flying conditions. In a scenario like that I'd be glad the accompanying aircraft were friendlies, not 109's or 190's. Might have a chance against the Lysander. Great video

Great video, thank you. We don’t prime ours before a Huck start, just straight in to it. I let the Huck turn over a couple of blades to build a bit of momentum before switching on, it will always catch within two or three more blades for a very smooth gentle start. I notice you had a backfire on the first blade of your start. I Dont know if that matters at all? When are you guys coming back for another visit to NZ? We’d love to see you at TVAL again.

What are those roundels on the Stutter in the back?

Im so looking forward to seeing AR501 display on Sunday last time was October 2005 with Andy Sephton at the controls

So grateful that you are keeping this information alive!

So it has a single-stage turbocharger?

Priceless. My father, S/L Jock (A E deM) Jarvis DFC, CdeG, flew SE5As in Salonika in WW1. He had 9 kills. He was earlier badly wounded at Vimy Ridge as an infantry Platoon Commander in the 38th Bn, 4 Div, (Cameron Highlanders of Ottawa). He continued military flying until 1923 thus serving in 4 air forces,-RFC, RAF, CAF, RCAF. After farming foxes in Scotland and planting rubber in Singapore He returned to Canada in 1929. He then flew with Western Canada Airways, the Department of Lands and Forests and his own flying operation named Birdways with a Curtis Robin and a Waco (the Beaver of its time). My mother was Rhoda Bird MA, hence Birdways, who endured multiple bush pilot moves ending up in Sault Ste Marie until 1939 when He promply sold his aircraft and rejoined the RCAF aged 45. He spent his second war developing the Link Trainer as the primary tool of aircrew selection out of No 1 ITS. (Dat Goddam Bird De Link). His post war years were full of adventure and accomplishment. His son Stephen flew F86 Sabres in 434 Sqn RCAF and Lightnings in the RAF. I trained on Chipmunks and the L19 Birddog on the way to the Hiller helecopter intended to be an augmentation to the Recce Squadron of my Regiment, The Royal Canadian Dragoons. My father was a gentleman of the old school. He was a perfectionist from crafting yew bows and feathering arrows to building a retirement home on family property near King Ontario. Everything he ever undertook he finished in a manner twice as good as it had ever been done before. I should have mentioned earlier that my grandfather Canon Arthur Jarvis saw three sons serve in WW1- my father plus Hal, Royal Artillery, and George, Royal Signals. The Canon also had V dot dot dash painted on the roof of his house and took in the four English Cavanaugh children evacuated with their impossible Nanny to Canada. My maternal grandfather was Captain Eustice Bird of the Royal Marines. I hope that tolerant readers will forgive my going on and on. I thought I was just going to mention that my father flew SE5As.
