Old Marden `87
MOST AVIATION buffs know Old Warden both as the home of the Shuttleworth Collection, a famous group of historic airplanes which are kept in flying condition, and as the venue of sundry model flying meets on the annual British calendar. Situated on the Shuttleworth estate, 40 miles north of London, the small grass aerodrome takes its name from a nearby picturesque village of thatched-roofed houses. The site was used in the 1930s as the private flying field of a Shuttleworth family son, an aviation buff who also founded the museum with historical aircraft he had acquired and restored.
