seeing those two old style planes fly through the air next to each other is truely awesome. cant imagine what it would have been like seeing that back in the day.
The blue DH 60 Moth shown being flown, was originally purchased by Richard Shuttleworth himself, in the 1930's. It is the only airworthy aircraft in the World to remain based at, and still operating from the same airfield for almost 90 years.
Beautiful, many thanks. Is the first "Edwardian" a Farman Longhorn? The second is an Avro Triplane (it says Avro on the side). The third is a Deperdussin according to the announcement. Is the first plane in the film a Comper Swift (w/Pobjoy engine)???
MrPwmiles - No the side view does look similar to the Swift doesn’t it, but the big wing (Swift was only 24ft) and fin give it away. It’s an ANEC II With an ABC Scorpion flat twin. The collection do have an airworthy Swift I believe. I learned to fly with John and Jenny Pothecary who owned Pobjoy engined G-ABUU.
08:46-08:47 (1910 depazition)? WTF is a depasition monoplane? Why can't the Brit'ish speak E N G L I S H . Oh, Thankyou to all responsible for this rare and beautiful offering!
