A replica Sopwith Camel, Shuttleworth's example is the third and final aircraft built by the Northern Aeroplane Workshops in Batley, West Yorkshire, for the Collection.
The Camel arrived at the Collection in 2013 for completion, and made its first flights in 2017 - powered by a 150hp Clerget 9B engine, giving the Camel a top speed of 115mph. It is regularly displayed at air shows throughout the May-October flying season.
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.
