We live near shuttleworth and get to see various planes flying , my mum always had a soft spot for the spitfire because she said they always felt safe . I visited shuttleworth back in junior school 60 years ago .
I went there last year on a screaming hot day,planes, vehicles were amazing.Outside chaps were landing in planes before flying up to Peterborough on a jolly. Huge model flying club were out doing amazing acrobatics.... Awesome.
I enjoyed watching this so much yesterday, I chose to rewatch this once again. Ian seems to be a wonderful person to share experiences with. Thank you Geoff and Ian.
Shuttleworth has changed a lot since I was there about 15 years ago - I'm sure there were more aircraft that you could walk round and touch - but the cars, tractors etc were not there. The other RR engine was a Griffon - big brother to the Merlin.
The engineers of those cars and planes still had that ability that victorian engineer's had to produce something functional reliable (for the day) and aesthetically pleasing. I feel that has been lost especially in automotive design as body shape is dictated by chasing the lowest Cd and a look under the bonnet reveals a plastic engine cover and not an engine that's good to look at. I keep threatening the wife with getting rid of the merc when I retire and getting something that I can repair, I'm thinking humber super snipe or a Beauford kit car Great vid thanks for taking us there
What I like about this channel is that there an air of positivity about the future for your country, and I’m not from the UK. Unlike a lot of other channels that rightly point out the faults and big problems you guys are facing, at least Geoff tries to be positive and entertain us. Safe Xmas and new year Geoff.
In my diary for a summer visit. What a spectacular display of artefacts. Especially liked the vintage motor cycles, the Travant, aircraft variously, and military offerings. Ian's countenance says it all really. Growing up within earshot of the Hawker Siddeley and Avro plant in woodford cheshire is where my passion for aviation started. Regular Vulcan and Nimrod fly over testing was the norm, and the breaking of the sound barrier was a most exciting, if not, slightly intimidating occurrence. The popular Woodford air show was held annually and I could spectate from my home. A museum remains, all else is gone. Happy days. Thanks for your splendid video, wishing you both a very happy Christmas.
My father had a green MG TC, I loved it. In the middle of the 1964 winter, I was passenger in a series 1 RAF landrover going from Gaydon to Wattisham and back, even with all my cold wet weather gear on including trog boots and seaboot sock it was bloody freezing.
I was lucky enough a few year ago to go to an RAF base for a family day. WOW. I go so close to operational aircraft including standing next to a spitfire when is was started up. All I can say is amazing.
As a small child the comet was one of the first airfix model planes I built If I were not on the other side of the earth I would be there tomorrow Good one Geoff 🎄🎄
Ian's happy place... do you blame the lad!!?? It would be my happy place too!! Only one problem... you should have stayed longer - much longer!! This must be one of the most impressive exhibits I've ever seen - beats a scrapyard of beaten up... or new Swedish commie cars all day long!! Thanks for taking us along - do please do so again... soon! Wow now... Geoff gets a tractor - cool! May you all have a super Christmas - may the Geoff's go from strength to strength! Be good, stay safe and happy!!
Always tricky when filming a museum. You want to show just enough but not so much you take away the experience for anyone that goes. And you really should go!
@@keepingoldcarsgoing If I'm ever in that neck of the woods I will go! There are actually a few museums I'd love to see - including the Farnborough Air Show - as you have guessed - I'm from a military aviation background! Have a blessed Christmas!!
Hi there yes the Shuttleworth collection is absolutely marvellous. We had a great pleasure couple of years ago. I’ve taken a 350 hp Sunbeam land speed car the first bluebird really we had a weekend at the museum at Shuttleworth and I can honestly say he is one of the best times I think I’ve had in years you know I work atBeaulieu so we do work with old cars a lot but to take the Sunbeam to their museum to run we have an engine which was the road from an aircraft engine of the 1919 error although it got its record in 1925 at Penny Sands and I find the sort of work on these engines absolutely fascinating so I’m pleased you enjoyed your day up there and I can say yes I can understand why all the best Michael
Always doped the tissue on balsa wood frames when I made models. Taught to do it when I was a nipper by my uncle Ray. We used to make simple small planes with elastic band drives to a cardboard prop stiffened with dry balsa wood glue. Ahhhh! the smells of aromatics.
Miles Magister,was a training aircraft...my great uncle,Frederick Christie DFM,was based at the Barton Le clay aerodrome in Bedfordshire (now an ind est) and crashed in one, near Toddington Beds in June 1944,while doing some aerobatics.. he was pretty bashed up,but survived to tell the tale after a local nurse rushed to his aid..after the war he became an ATC...
I went there with my dad in the late 1960's. He was born in 1923 so he was familiar with lots of the exhibits and really enjoyed the trip. I found it a bit boring because my interest starts around the mid 1950's and I'm into cars rather than aircraft. I remember the red "Grosvenor House" De Havilland Comet and built an Airfix model of it. I also remember the Cyclemaster which you walked past in the garage. That featured in a guide book which we bought and had for years.
That's my neck of the woods! Ah, curse your phone's low battery level. You walked right past a lovely cutaway Bristol Centaurus radial engine in the hanger with the DH Comet. The Bristol Centaurus was a mad engine, with Hell's gearbox on it to drive the sleeve valves. Generally reckoned to be the pinnacle of piston aero engines, or there abouts (some US engines had a fair shout too), it had heaps of development room left before jets took over. The last development reached 3,220hp, which even by today's standards is a pretty epic amount of power. The Centaurus powered a number of aircraft, the best of which was the Hawker Sea Fury. If you're ever going to have a set of favourite piston powered warbirds, this is going to be one of them because it was as fast as pistons and straight wings were ever going to go, and looks fantastic. Sea Fury's are popular in the Reno Air Races. There's not many left still flying with a Centaurus; many survivors have had a P&W radial engine swap (more of them, easier to keep running). But, those few that still do have a Centaurus running sound epic, and move fast. Shuttleworth also has a Spitfire, not sure where it is at the moment. Shuttleworth is a lovely place to go; the gardens there are also fantastic, and gives the option of decanting those in a family not interested in planes into the gardens instead.
Love the shuttleworth collection from the Rolls Royce Gryphon engine in the hanger by the gift shop to the ww2 flight sim and old bikes. It's even better cos the landing fee is cheap.
Geoff, everyone with an EV, has to have those coats in the winter. Fantastic collection of British Engineering. Really with have to make a pilgrimage to the Shuttleworth Collection. You should visit Just Jane at East Kirkby.
I associate yellow aircraft with pilot training. There's not a great deal of beauty in the world today. But I've always loved mechanical watches. I tried taking one apart when I was about 9 years old, cogs went everywhere. A life lesson always be careful the first time you take anything apart. I watched all 6 endings😮
Great boys day out well done... May I suggest the Mossman Collection in Luton. Early Vauxhall vehicles and carriage. Entry free. Is worth a visit if your in the area
Hi Geoff On 8th spet this year i to went to shttlewouth Collection in my Triumph tr7 with over 200 triumphs/standard cars . All triumph day organised by Triumph sport six club/Tr register . Triumph Roadsters to Aclaims standard 8 .
Kids will be kids and make stuff lol Roy had sunbeam ducati and yaught and was the best member of staff still a mate 3 wheel mini got me hooked on mini lol lal💜🙏💜🧙♂️
Sorry - have to make this daft joke - do you get free entry to the Shuttleworth collection if you turn up in an Austin Ambassador Y reg? Sorry……I’ll get my coat! 😂😂
Geoff, you and Ian need to check out Andy Tiernan's youtube channel if you like old Motorcycles, 1920s to 1970s, some very nice bikes on there with short test runs, they're based in Norfolk.
Top video Geoff & Ian, most interesting. I was just thinking about the incredible styling of all the old aircraft & vehicles when you mentioned the difference between then and now. Everything of a certain age has that ‘je ne sais quoi’ which is apparent in everything there, even working machines had that style. Now we have largely lost the ability to create something practical, beautiful and yet perfectly engineered. Cars have largely become very bland, SUV shaped and boring, I wonder why it is so. Is it possibly that designers are so focused on saving the planet from the fake climate change, that they do not consider making something intrinsically attractive and appealing? Anyhow, thanks again for this excellent set of videos. (maybe Geoff & Ian’s Big Day Out could become a regular feature?), Happy Christmas to you and your families, I hope you have a great day.
Do a road trip to Speyer, Germany. They have the wonderful Technik Museum. You can walk out onto the wing of a jumbo jet supported high in the air on pylons.
Miss looking at collections of stuff but miss having a life car and girlfriend but it might come back round the magic roundabout going round in circles getting nowhere again lol lal💜🙏💜🧙♂️
Made a glider model put engine on it set up to go circles but it flew off never to be seen again think it went down in airport but would not let me look lol lal💜😜🧙♂️🔧
A lot of military gear has a beauty BUT the use of it is very very ugly, was any war necessary for our defense or convenient to someone's wallet???, how peaceful would OUR world be if NO ONE enlisted or was conscripted, we don't want war but someone says we have to have one, CUI BONO ?????, 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
!I am at the beginning of my "investment journey", planning to put 385K into dividend stocks so that I will be making up to 30% annually in dividend returns. any good recommendation on great performing stocks or Crypto will be appreciated.
As a newbie investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Ruth Ann Tsakonas is my trade analyst, she has guided me to identify key market trends, pinpointed strategic entry points, and provided risk assessments, ensuring my trades decisions align with market dynamics for optimal returns.
I managed to grow a nest egg of around 120k to over a Million. I'm especially grateful to Adviser Ruth Ann Tsakonas, for her expertise and exposure to different areas of the market..
I don't really blame people who panic. Lack of information can be a big hurdle. I've been making more than $200k passively by just investing through an advisor, and I don't have to do much work. Inflation or no inflation, my finances remain secure. So I really don't blame people who panic.
Without a doubt! Ruth Ann Tsakonas is a trader who goes above and beyond. she has an exceptional skill for analysing market movements and spotting profitable opportunities. Her strategies are meticulously crafted on thorough research and years of practical experience.
how would you recommend i enter the crypto market? I am also looking at studying some traders and copying their strategy rather than investing myself and losing money emotionally. What's your take on this approach? and How can i reach her, if you don't mind me asking?

Excellent video, Geoff. I was going to say there's some interesting stuff but it all is. They obviously hid the 1930s Volvo. 😊😊

I nominate my Christopher Ward Trident 600 as a beautiful English designed watch. Classic!
Wow ❤. Nice one Geoff, Christmas day bonus🎄😂®️🤶
As a small child the comet was one of the first airfix model planes I built

Thanks for the adventure, Merry Christmas Geoff and the Geoff family.
I love them mg ta's, like what nick berry drove in early heartbeat, 👌
Very cool vid. The Gloucester Gladiator is such a great machine. My favourite Airfix kit.
My Late Father was Apprenticed for Armstrong Whitworth! later to become Rolls Royce Aero! have always had a love of Aircraft! thanks for the video!
Always doped the tissue on balsa wood frames when I made models. Taught to do it when I was a nipper by my uncle Ray. We used to make simple small planes with elastic band drives to a cardboard prop stiffened with dry balsa wood glue. Ahhhh! the smells of aromatics.
Yeah!! More Ian!
If there's anything to do with RAF coltishall there can you speak about it please? I was based there until 2005
Miles Magister,was a training aircraft...my great uncle,Frederick Christie DFM,was based at the Barton Le clay aerodrome in Bedfordshire (now an ind est) and crashed in one, near Toddington Beds in June 1944,while doing some aerobatics.. he was pretty bashed up,but survived to tell the tale after a local nurse rushed to his aid..after the war he became an ATC...
Fabric wings how amazing 😲

28:32 much better ending. I liked the thumbing through the book bit best.
Hey , it wasn’t just a thumbing, I brought the book!
That's my neck of the woods!

I have never been here and it is now on my list to visit. Looks a excellent place to visit. Wonder what the airshow is like.
Great boys day out well done... May I suggest the Mossman Collection in Luton. Early Vauxhall vehicles and carriage. Entry free. Is worth a visit if your in the area
Never heard of this one…..Like Pike…..it’s going on the list!
You had to be bit nuts to fly them planes my opinion lol lal💜🙏💜🧙♂️
I have noticed that the museum at wrouton only doing tours now but been upgraded but not been there 30 years nearly time flying by lal💜🙏💜🧙♂️
There's a tidy looking Ferguson FE35 tractor at ACA in January, suit you down to the ground.
Hi Geoff
On 8th spet this year i to went to shttlewouth Collection in my Triumph tr7 with over 200 triumphs/standard cars . All triumph day organised by Triumph sport six club/Tr register . Triumph Roadsters to Aclaims standard 8 .
Great collection but you need to go to a summer airshow as it really comes alive.
Geoff you should have taken the kids round there so much history and educational abilities now ur home schooling!
Kids will be kids and make stuff lol Roy had sunbeam ducati and yaught and was the best member of staff still a mate 3 wheel mini got me hooked on mini lol lal💜🙏💜🧙♂️
21:37 nice end to the video
Ian needs to launch an after shave made from workshop smells and call it wings!
Sorry - have to make this daft joke - do you get free entry to the Shuttleworth collection if you turn up in an Austin Ambassador Y reg? Sorry……I’ll get my coat! 😂😂
Just.....GO😒----👉👉👉👉!! 😅
Do a walk through at iwm Duxford hungers ..amazing place takes 2 days to do it properly
That engine was likely a Rolls Royce Griffin Engine.
Could be a merlin but I'm no expert. I flew gliders.
@@user-rf9me7xm1w First one was indeed a RR Griffon, 37 litres, 2,400hp !
Geoff, you and Ian need to check out Andy Tiernan's youtube channel if you like old Motorcycles, 1920s to 1970s, some very nice bikes on there with short test runs, they're based in Norfolk.
Highlight of my Christmas eve, does this mean my life is pathetic, or this videois fantastic?
Simply means you are a man of great taste!

It's a Westland Lysander, can land on a penny.
Do a road trip to Speyer, Germany. They have the wonderful Technik Museum. You can walk out onto the wing of a jumbo jet supported high in the air on pylons.
I haven’t told him yet, but I want to go to Essen classic and then onto that museum!
😀👍
I've done woodwork on both of the buses, I know the guy who sold them to shuttleworth.
Miss looking at collections of stuff but miss having a life car and girlfriend but it might come back round the magic roundabout going round in circles getting nowhere again lol lal💜🙏💜🧙♂️
You two make a lovely couple, you gonna work for Jaguar?
The Mrs has a Mink like those coats but you can't wear them these days. Was my Grandma's I think
Was little Nellie still there.
Made a glider model put engine on it set up to go circles but it flew off never to be seen again think it went down in airport but would not let me look lol lal💜😜🧙♂️🔧
Beauty? Make your own catapults! Also useful and legal to carry.
Geoff, Have you ever been tested for ADHD? Hope you guys have a great Christmas ☃️🎄
