1 JAN 07: SHUTTLEWORTH COUP

FOUR classic Luftwaffe WW11 aircraft have been bought by collector and pilot Peter Holloway and will be based at the Shuttleworth Collection at Old Warden Aerodrome.

The four aircraft are: lFocke Wulf FW44J Steiglitz (reg G-STIG) l Bucker BU181B-1 Bestmann (G-GLSU) l Klemm 35D (N5050) l Fieseler F156A-1 Storch (G-STCH)
“The Steiglitz and Bestmann have already been flown into Old Warden,” said a spokesperson for the Shuttleworth Collection, one of Europe’s top classic aircraft museums. “The Klemm, while also airworthy, will be transported by road pending UK registration and issue of a CofA.
“The Storch, a well advanced project, will reside in the museum initially before entering the workshops when space becomes available.

“The airworthy machines are the sole representatives of their type in the UK. They are in magnificent ‘factory new’ condition and will make a fantastic addition to our displays next year.” Peter Holloway (Plane Crazy, LOOP, June 06) told LOOP, “I have worked long and hard to secure the RLM collection. The financial commitment has been considerable. I would not have made this without the help, encouragement and commitment of the Collection Trustees.”
