EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the 1970s, the Mignet H.M.14 - G-AEBB, affectionately known as the "Flying Carpet," takes center stage at Old Warden airfield, nestled among an intriguing collection of vintage aircraft. The Shuttleworth Collection, a renowned organization dedicated to preserving and showcasing historic aircraft, provides the perfect backdrop for this remarkable machine. To the left of the Mignet H.M.14, the Avro Tutor K3215 and Sopwith Pup N5180 can be seen. The Avro Tutor, a two-seat primary trainer, was a staple of the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the interwar period and beyond. Its sleek design and versatility made it a popular choice for both training and transport missions. The Sopwith Pup, on the other hand, is a biplane trainer that first flew in 1913. Its distinctive shape and open cockpit make it a favorite among aviation enthusiasts. In the background, the imposing figure of the Hawker Sea Hurricane Mk Ib Z7015 dominates the scene. This iconic British fighter aircraft was a key component of the RAF's defense during World War II, particularly during the Battle of Britain. Its powerful engine and agile design made it a formidable opponent against the German Luftwaffe. The Mignet H.M.14, a lightweight, homebuilt aircraft, stands out as a testament to the ingenuity and passion of aviation enthusiasts. Its simple design and compact size have made it a favorite among pilots and collectors alike. The photograph captures a moment in time when these historic aircraft, each with their unique stories and significance, come together in a celebration of aviation history.
