Along with the priceless Edwardians, the extensive Shuttleworth Collection also contains some of the only airworthy examples of genuine combat aircraft from WW1 and WW2, along with the graceful lines of multiple world aviation speed record holders from the 1930’s. It is a rare display unlike any other in the world and
The Old Warden airfield is unique in having an L-shaped airfield, allowing the aircraft to bank close to the spectators and to pass at the perfect angle for practicing our panning technique.

Testimonials
Thank you so much for this great day out – I will go through my pictures but no matter the photographic results, I have had so much fun!
Perfect organization, great tips at meeting point and during the trip, and that airfield and the airshow were an absolute, fascinating delight! Although I was very much focussed on testing my own camera in this new area (for me), I’ve really enjoyed using your gear for a while during the airshow. Nice meeting everyone in this small group, too.
Thanks very much for an amazing day out, Dion. The aircraft were incredible to see and photograph and thanks for lending me your lens. I’ve got some great photos!
Will definitely go on another workshop…and probably this one again next year. Thanks again!

Dion brings over a decade of expertise in teaching and guiding photography. He is an expat Australian and when not running photography tours, resides in London, UK, running photography workshops or as a locum pharmacist. His extensive travel experiences, spanning over 40 countries, ignited his passion for photography as a means to chronicle his journeys. This passion quickly evolved into a profound interest, leading him to actively participate in various camera clubs, assisting them in conducting workshops. Today, Dion independently operates his own workshops mainly across the UK, and occasionally internationally.
His London-based photography Meetup groups have 7,000+ members and over 500 5-star ratings.
