Built in 1932, G-ACTF was the 9th of 42 Swifts to be built. It was originally registered to Alban Ali as VT-ADO 'The Scarlet Angel' and spent the first part of its life in India. Sold to George Errington who rebuilt it and re-registered the aircraft as G-ACTF on May 24 1934. Purchased by the Shuttleworth Collection in August 1996. During 1998 it was overhauled and restored to its original factory condition and paint scheme. However engine problems have kept it away from the display scene since then, but it should fly again soon.

G-YOTS was built by Aerostar in Bacau, Romania in 1990. She was used by the Soviet DOSAAF training organisation for aerobatic training logging about 150 hours before being pushed to the back of the hangar, where she remained until 2003. She was re-built and imported to the UK that year.

1st of type on AC !
Tomtit K1786 was built by Hawkers in January 1931 & initially served with No. 3 Flying Training School. It joined the U.K. civil register as G-AFTA in April 1939. During the war, it was flown by Alex Henshaw and gained a Spitfire windscreen and faired headrest. It was acquired and restored by Hawkers in 1949 where it became the mount of the their test pilot Neville Duke and was painted in the dark blue company colours. In 1960, it was handed over to the Shuttleworth Collection, who returned it to its original RAF colours in 1967.

The Desoutter Aircraft Company was formed in December 1928 to manufacture the designs of the Dutch Koolhoven company in particular the Koolhoven F.K.41, which had drawn a lot of attention due to its modern design. The licence was obtained and Desoutter set up a production unit at the former ADC factory at Croydon Aerodrome. The F.K.41 became quite successful and was marketed under the name Dolphin. The name "Dolphin" was later dropped and for a while the aircraft was marketed only under the name "Desoutter". A slightly modified version was later produced and the versions received the suffixes Mk.I and Mk.II.
Desoutter's aircraft became a familiar sight in British flying clubs, where they were used for instruction, pleasure flights and taxi flights.
Still flying today as part of the amazing Shuttleworth Collection !

Built in Cincinnati in 1937 and flew in Florida until her last flight in 1948. She was in storage until the mid eighties when she was imported to the U.K where restoration started. The restorer sold her off and she was placed in storage again for another 18 years. Acquired by Colin Essex in June 2013 who has spent over 1400 hours putting her back to her original condition. Now resident at Old Warden with the owner's 1924 Hawker Cygnet G-EBJI
