The Shuttleworth collection's Polikarpov Po-2 was seen flying at Old Warden on Sunday 19th May. This really is a big machine, dwarfing the Tiger Moth it was parked next to. The 5 cylinder radial engine gave out a wonderful slow and deep beat as the aircraft flew around before the main display started.
Hercules manufactured the propeller - a reproduction of the original and the pilot reported it to be performing just as expected.
