Lou Shorten Tribute 8/9th October 2022

On a notably sunny October weekend our Norfolk event followed a well established format, with 10 Magnettes on Saturday at John Shorten’s open house (in Lenwade) where a buffet lunch was enjoyed in the garden and the Concours and Pride of Ownership were judged. There was also a raffle which seemed to be happily engineered so that everyone came away with a prize !

Shuttleworth Airshow 1st May 2022

There was an excellent turnout for the Shuttleworth Collection opening airshow of 2022, with at least 25 Z Magnettes and a couple of Farina Magnettes gathered, along with hundreds of other spectators as you might expect, given the number of historic planes on show which are rarely seen actually flying
