1. Title: English Electric Wren G-EBNV-4 at the Shuttleworth Trust, Old Warden, Bedfordshire, Circa 1982 This photograph showcases the English Electric Wren G-EBNV-4, a rare and historic aircraft, as it gracefully rests at the Shuttleworth Trust in Old Warden, Bedfordshire, around 1982. The English Electric Wren, a versatile and innovative aircraft, was initially designed for the Royal Air Force (RAF) as a trainer and communications aircraft during the 1950s. The Wren, with its distinctive shape and sleek lines, was a significant addition to the aviation world. Its versatility made it suitable for various roles, including maritime patrol, target towing, and even as a control tower simulator. In this photograph, we see the G-EBNV-4, with the registration number 4, in its elegant and preserved state at the Shuttleworth Trust. The Shuttleworth Collection, located in Old Warden, is a renowned aviation museum and preservation society dedicated to the history of flight. The Trust's collection includes a diverse range of historic aircraft, from early biplanes to modern jets. The acquisition of the English Electric Wren G-EBNV-4 was a significant addition to their collection, providing a unique insight into the history of British aviation. The Wren's retirement from active service marked the beginning of its new life as a cherished exhibit at the Shuttleworth Trust. This photograph captures the essence of the English Electric Wren G-EBNV-4's legacy, showcasing its timeless beauty and historical significance. The image serves as a testament to the passion and dedication of aviation enthusiasts and preservation societies like the Shuttleworth Trust, who work tirelessly to ensure that the history of flight is not forgotten. The Peter Butt Aviation Collection, from Mary Evans Prints Online, has captured this moment in time, allowing us to appreciate the English Electric Wren G-EBNV-4's enduring presence in the annals of aviation history.
