A group of pilots from Halton Aero Club had the fantastic opportunity to visit the Collection Engineering Open Day in February. The day was a resounding success, offering fascinating insights into the evolution of radial engines, the intricate differences between replicas and restorations, and the immense effort required to keep such a remarkable collection airborne.
It was truly inspiring to witness the dedication, skill, and vast knowledge of the workshop team, whose hard work ensures these historic aircraft continue to fly. As an unexpected treat, we were also treated to an impromptu aerobatic display by a pair of Pitts Biplanes, making the day even more memorable.
A huge thank you to the Shuttleworth Collection for their hospitality and for sharing their passion for aviation with us!
At Halton Aero Club, we regularly organise group visits, land-aways, and insightful presentations covering a wide range of aeronautical topics. Members are always encouraged to take part
