Right who's up for this then

The Shuttleworth Collection
Old Warden
Biggleswade
Beds SG18 9EP

More than 1,500 Alfa Romeo owners and enthusiasts are expected to ‘touch down’ at Old Warden Aerodrome on Sunday 3rd May. The AROC’s ‘season opening’ Spring Alfa Day will complement Shuttleworth’s first Air Display of 2009.

The world famous Collection of over 40 historic aircraft (all in flying condition), cars, motorcycles and carriages is housed within eight floodlit hangars, including a garage and coach room. Visitors can see the history of the aeroplane from the pioneering Bleriot through to the Spitfire.

The AROC are delighted to announce they will be re-uniting the Collection on the day with the actual Alfa Romeo P3 Tipo B racing car in which Richard Shuttleworth won the 1935 Donington Grand Prix. The car will be magnificently displayed in hangar 5. An area of hard-standing outside will be set-aside for vintage cars.

Spring Alfa Day will see iconic and evocative examples of this famous marque from the past 70 years on display. A real opportunity to see the changing style and sophistication Alfa Romeo in one place.

Re: Spring Alfa Day

Re: Spring Alfa Day

How are people meeting up? If we are coming from different places at different times and park in one large car park, have people decided to meet by the entrance at a particular time?

There is a large car park at Sainsburys beside the A1 in Biggleswade - this might make a good meeting point.

Loving the local knowledge. That sainsbury (SG18 0NA) is right by Shuttleworth so it would make a good meeting point I recon. Meet at 10.30am at sainsburry?
