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. |
