Lying on the banks of the
River Ivel - just a few miles from Bedford –
this fascinating village hosts the
Shuttleworth Collection of Historic Aeroplanes
and Cars.
The collection, displayed
in an aerodrome, was launched in the 1920s by
Richard Shuttleworth and is now run by a
trust.
His museum contains an
array of aircraft (including a 1909 Bleriot
plane and a 1941 Spitfire) as well as old
carriages, motorcars and bicycles, while
special flying displays are staged each
summer. |
