Join Collection pilot Dodge Bailey for a quick chat about the Royal Aircraft Factory SE5a at Shuttleworth's Season Premiere air show on Sunday 1st May 2022.
Shuttleworth's SE5a was built under licence by Wolseley Motors and issued to 84 squadron in France in November 1918. It was in action on 10th November 1918, then piloted by Major C E M Pickthorn MC, the squadron commander, when he successfully destroyed a Fokker DVII in the vicinity of Chimay, Belgium. This means the Collection's SE5a is the last original airworthy WW1 aeroplane with a confirmed victory.
The Shuttleworth Collection in Bedfordshire, England is home to a vast array of vintage aircraft, vehicles, as well as agricultural machinery. The Collection hosts a series of flying days from May to October each year, and is open to the public on non-flying days as well.
