Shuttleworth’s De Havilland DH.88 Comet. It was built specifically to compete in the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race England to Australia which it won. It’s a lovely Aircraft maintained in pristine airworthy condition #MikesAircraftPhotos

Shuttleworth’s Blackburn Type D. Built in 1912, it’s the oldest British built Aeroplane still capable of flight. Very occasionally flown in the evening at the end of Summer Air Shows, when perfect weather conditions allow #MikesAircraftPhotos

A small earthquake in Germany, six years ago, proved to be the spontaneous detonation of a #WW2 bomb. (Apparently happens once a year.)
