The Collection's Deperdussin is believed to have been the 43rd example to have been built and was used at Hendon as a training machine until damaged and disposed of for scrap. It was rescued by Albert Glimmer, who also owned what is now the Collection's Bleriot, and both were acquired by Richard Shuttleworth in 1935. It was restored to pristine condition at Old Warden. As with most Edwardian aircraft the Deperdussin is very sensitive to wind conditions and so is only flown when they are just right. Today it ie normally only 'hopped' along the runway, although ot is capable of longer flights. The 2015 Season Air Displays DVD set is available from the Shuttleworth shop now.
