RICHARD SHUThLEWORTH TRUSTEES
TRUSTEES. REPORT
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024
The Trustees, who are the directors of the charitsble company for the purpose of company law, present their
annual report together with the audited financial statements of the Group and the Trust for the 1 November
2023 to 31 October 2024.
The Annual Report Se￿eS the purposes of both a Trustees. report and a directors. report under company law.
The Trustees confimi that the Annual Report and financial statements of the charitable company comply with
the current statutory requirements. the requirements of the charitable company's governing document and the
provision of the Statement of Recommended Practice {SORPI applicable to charities preparing their accounts
in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS102)
{sKond edition of the charities SORP October 2019).
CHAIRMAN'S STATEMENT
This reporting year was the first full year of the Trust operating under the revised management structure
implemented during 2023.
l am pleased to report that there has been steady and positive progress across most operational areas,
resutting in the above-budget financial results reported below. These funds are used wholly to support the
Trust's charitabl8 objectives and maintain the wider estate.
The Trust fU￿11S its agricultural educational objective by means of a long-term arran9ement with the 8edford
College Group IBCG). The Group appointed a new CEO. Yiannis Koursis. in November 2023. During our early
discussions a number of opportunities have been identified which offer mutual benefit; these will be refined and
implemented over Ihe coming months. An early example of this strengthened relationship has been the transfer
of farming rights of 128 acres of Trust-owned farmland to the College, providing a more extensive experience to
those students studying land-based sciences at Kingshill Farm. I believe the felationship between the Trust and
BCG is entering a new and exciling phase which will yield more opportunities lor the Trust to extend its support
of education into the land-based sciences and associated disciplines.
Recognising the increased pressure on disposable incomes, some changes were made to the number and
format of the airshows for which Shutlleworth is renowned. The number of airshows staged was reduced from
ten to seven, with some becoming multi-day events. The purpose of this change was to give better value to our
visitors, more attractions in the public areas as well as a greater variety of static and displaying aircraft.
Changes of this type to well-established custom can never be taken lightly, but l am delighted to report that the
public reaction has been overwhelmingly favourable with visrtor numbers up by 70/0 year-on-year, despite
staging less airshows than the year before. The only slightly sad note in an otherwise terrific season was that
the Edwardian aircraft almost never flew. These aircraft are very weather sensitive and can only be flown in the
benign conditions usually found in the earfy evening. Regrettably, the weather simply didn't co-operate this
season and the evenings were stubbornly blustery. The Edwardians are historically significant and very popular
with the public. so the events team are looking at the structure of next season's events to see if there are
refinements which coukl offer our visitors a better chance of seeing the Edwardians fly.
The Trust has a portfolio of residential and commercial rental properties which provide operating income to
underpin the delivery of the two Charitable Objectives. The improved operating perfomance of the visitor facing
activrties means the Trust was able to allocate an additional £300,000 to the maintenance budget, continuing
our previous strategy of improving the standard of the rental properties. The Trust has commenced a review of
the long-term strategy for this element of its portfolio in light of the inexorably rising costs of maintaining period
properties and the changing regulatory landscape. This review has many facets and will be of great importance
to the Trust's long-lerm planning, so Trustees have appointed an internal Head of Estates to lead this review
and help formulate the long-term strategy.

Performance report
2024 has seen another positive year on visitor numbers across the various areas. Collection visits appear lower
than the 2021 and 2022 seasons due to the change in admission structure where the front end of the sile
became free for the public to access. Similarly ancillary spend from these events remained at a healthy level,
despite inflationary pressures and concerns over cost of living.

Air shows
2024 saw an update to the air show format with a new varied programme including single day and Iwo
day weekend shows held behveen May and October. A variety of audiences were catered for, and the trust
enjoyed a near 100/0 increase in air show visitors compared to the 2023 season. We also welcomed more
famiSies through the door5 than in recent years with 4418 children attending last yearfs air show5.
Fomial leamlng and dlscovery
A UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) levelling up grant from Central Beds Council. match funded by the
SVAS, allowed the Education Team to undertake a new project focused on developing and enhancing the
visitor attraction's special education need5 and disabilities (SEND) provision. The funding allowed the team to
access expert support, including commissioning award-winning sensory consultants Collar & Cuffs as
facilitators. The project also involved.. co-creating workshops and developing sensory resources; establishing a
pilot group of local SEND school representatives, community groups, families and providers.. creating a
bespoke 'What to expect, video with supporting prlnt resources. and establishing bespoke communication
symbols to better reflect the Collection and Garden at Shuttleworth.
The Education Team worked closely with the University of 8edfordshire Education departmenl to organise
programme of study for their final year PGCE Primary cohort of trainee teachers, introducing them to Object
Based Learning and the opportunities available to contextualise and reinforce. stretch and challenge learners
outside the classroom. This included developing a cross curricula Journeys scheme of worf( that they can take
wrth them to their new employers - a package Ihat has already generated bookings from schools new to us.
This programme will be extended to the Secondary cohort, and include individual STEM subject areas, in 2025.
Last year we welcomed.. 2855 pupils from 74 schools., 1177 young people from 63 youth groups (Girlguides I
Air Cadets etc) and 667 adult learners from 21 organisalions.
We held 7 dedicated STEM events, hosted an Aviation Education conference and our Education Team were
invited to speak about their work at 6 other conferences. We delivered outreach to 1977 learners at 14 other
locations. We delivered holiday activities to 2633 children and Discovery Zones for the 4836 children that
attended airshows. Overall education reach for the year was 14,145 minds. All activities were highly supported
by the volunteers who provided leaching, coaching and varied other learning experiences, The numbers are
broken in the table below for the 2024 financial year.
Apprenticeships and Tralnlng
The Trust is active in ensuring that core skills are properly transferred from long-term experienced engineers to
their successors by running a skills transfer programme comprising a four year apprenticeship and up to
further 6 years of on the job training. Of the seven apprentices that have started at Shuttleworth, two are
currently in their apprenticeships. while three who have completed the initial apprenticeships have become
fulltime Trust employees to allow them to continue developing their skills under experienced practitioners.
Shuttleworth College
The Shuttleworth Trust hosts Shuttleworth College. run by The Bedford College Group (TBCG), in fulfilment of
part of the Trust's charitable objectives regarding Agriculture. The College enrols students from across the
region with the majority coming from the local areas of Bedfordshire, Hertfordshire, Huntingdonshire, and Milton
Keynes. Full time student numbers across FE and HE remain strong with an average of 650 full time students
in addition to part time, short course, and apprenticeship students over the last 5 years. Full time students study
programmes in agriculture, countryside management. fisheries management, animal management, equine
management, horticulture, floristry and outdoor adventure. Alongside their main qualification students Can also
retake GCSES in maths and English. The majority of students are studying at level 3 and above. Higher
Educalion is offered in agriculture and animal science and is validated by the University of Bedfordshire.

FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 OCTOBER 2024
Apprenti￿ShipS are focused on horticulture and the part time provision includes high numbers of students
studying for Royal Horticultural Society and floristry qualifications.
Onsrte facilities included the new £4.3million Zoological Education Centre thal houses a collection of over 250
rare, tropical species in worldclass facilities, and one of the only biomes within a College, that forms part of rts
conservation work. In the last year the College has invested the physical resources in the walled garden and
the Kingshill Farm site. This has involved considerable maintenance work on some of the older buildings that
are used for lambing, to provide a better environment for students and livestock.
The College continues to deliver a well-rounded and engaging Curriculum which meets the needs of the
students and the sectors they are hoping to enter. There are strong links with employers through
well-established work experience programme, along with numbér of visiting speakers and trips to other
estsblishments. It is pleasing that a number of these activities involve ex Shultleworth students who now have
Careers in the sector and are able to share their professional joumeys wrth the students.
Next year the College will be moving forward in delivering the new T Level qualffjications in Land and
Environrnent and we look forward to further developmenls at the farm to support this. Open days continue
to generate strong interest and high numbers of attendees with applications for September alrgady underway.
Sustainablllty
Over the last three years the trust has undertaken a substantial tree planting programme across its woodland
and reviewed and reduced its use of power and water within the museum las well as replacing hangar lights
with LEDS with a 500k improvement in energy efficiency). Solar panels were installed across the museum in
2024, reducing the trust's reliance on external power.
NotrNithstanding this welcome reduction in general energy usage, the Trustees commissioned a review of the
benefits to both carbon footprint and utility costs which might be achieved by the installation of Photo Voltaic
local energy generation. The output of this work showed that a hangar roof mounted system could allow the
Collection lo become broadly self-sufficient in green electrical energy. with the associated improvement in
carbon footprint and reducing exposure to future energy price volatility.
During the latter part of 2024, solar panels were successfully installed across most of the museum hangar roof
space, going live in June at a cost of £332k. Power consumpiion in the museum and associated commercial
ventures was covered almost entirely from solar power produced by this installation. At the same time our
external power supply contract for the rest of Ihe trust was re-lendered on more favourable terms leading to
significant cost savings, and including the ability lo 'sell back, solar power into the grid when not required by the
trust. We expect the solar panels to pay-back wtthin 7 years, as well as cutting our carbon footprint significantly.
Financial Revlew
The Shuttleworth Trust derives revenue from..
Admissions to its heritage assets and events that support rts charttable aims.,
Trading activities to support its visitors and events.,
Renls and revenue from an estate of residential, farming. and commercial property:
A portfolio of stocks and shares,. and
Donations, 9rants, and legacies.
Visitor numbers and activty increased during 2024, with posrtive and improving attendance levels at air shows
and educational visits. Given the change in admissions policy over the last 2 years, where the ticketed gate has
moved back, to allow the general public to spend on catering and retail without a paid ticket, like-for-like
attendance numbers are not available. However, the improved financial performance reflects both higher

income from good visitor numbers, and lower and more flexible costs than in 2022 and before. A more flexible
cost base and greater use of flexible staff and volunteers has also allowed the trust to limit price rises and
maintain value for money, which has been reflected in healthy visitor numbers.
During 2024 income from the Trust's core charitable and trading activities increased to.. £3,283,000 (2023:
£2,773.000). Similarly the largely unrealised Investment gains of £2,468,000 (2023.. £2,292,000) on the Trust's
investments maintained a stable return, albeit it should be noted that a large proportion of these gains are
revaluations of heritsge and other real estate assets which are part of the Trust's charitable objectives and as
such not realisable. Donations and legacy income increased during the year, contributing lo the increase in the
Trust's Income.
Expenditure increased during 2024 compared with 2023 to £5,962,000 {2023'. £5,233,000), resulting in Net
Income of £122,000 for 202412023: Income of £89,000).

£124,000 {2023.' £156,000) of governance costs, which includes a proportion of the support expendrture.
Investment Pollcy
The investment portfolio managers for the stocks and shares work to a benchmark which is set in discussion
with the Trustees. During the year under review the perfornance was slightly under this benchmark but the
trustees accepted this was affected by the movement in the markets.
The land agent, Robinson & Hall, manages the wider estate with the aim to achieve the market rate for the
rental of the land and property and this is monitored by the Estates Committee.
Reseryes Policy
The Trust maintains Sign￿leant reserves in capital assets that support the organisation:
The Trust has identified a minimum of £1.4m of funds to be retained within its St￿kS and shares as IKiuid
assets to call upon as a strategtc reserrfe. It reviews its cash requirement on a rolling 18 month basis and the
investment committee ensures that it does not put at risk any funds where they are needed to meet
requirements on this lime horizon. This identified reserve remains intact.

The risks identified of key concern for Trustees in 2023124 were..
Cashflow - largely related to Ihe Trusvs financial perfomance in 2023 and 2024, which is driven by variable fact
ors such as our cost base and visitor numbers. Uncertainties in the wider economy and inflationary pre
ssures have been a cause of concem, however the Trust has been able to reduce its fixed Costs via a staff restr
ucturing. providing greater operational and cost flexibility, and has also been able to largely pass on price in¢￿a
ses to visitors. At the same time the management team has increased its f¢xus on operational efficie
ncies and delivering an improved programme of events targeted at our customer base. Improved financial
monitoring and forecasting over the last tsvo years has also increased perfomiance visability for the leadership
leam and trustees.
Changing demographics the Trust continues lo review and consider its appeal as a visitor attraction as the
population within our local area changes and ages. We continue to consider our approach to delivering our
charrtable objectives while also remaining attractive to visitors and other stakeholders.
Reliance of a high cost base on limited sources of revenue - this has been largely addressed through the recent
restructuring, which has reduced staff and other fixed costs, and improved the revenue mix with events
targeted at customers.

RESPONSIBILITIES OF TRUSTEES
As explained more fully in the Trustees, Responsibilities Slalement, the Trustees are responsible for the
preparation of the financial statements which give a true and fair view, and lor such intèrnal control as the
Trustees determine is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material
misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial slatemenls, the Trustees are responsible for assessing the Group's and the parent
charity's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing. as applicable, matters related lo going concern and
using the going concern basis of accounting unless the Trustees either intend to liquidate the Group or the
parent charity or to cease operations. or have no realistic aEternative but to do so.
AUDITORS. RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE AUDIT OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
We have been appointed as auditor under section 151 of the Charities Act 2011 and report in accordance with

Our objectives are to obtain ￿aSonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free
from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an Auditors, Report that includes our
opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee Ihat an audit conduded in
accordance with ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misslatements can arise
from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate. they could reasonably be
expecled to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

RICHARD sHu￿LEw0RTH TRUSTEES
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS; REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RICHARD SHUTTLEWORTH TRUSTEES
(CONTINUED
Irregularities. including fraud. are instances of non-compliance with laws and regulations. We design
procedures in line with our responsibilities, outlined above, to detect material misstatements in respect of
irregularities, including fraud. The extent to which our procedures are capable of delecting irregularities,
including fraud is detailed below..
Our approach to Klentifying and assessing the risks of material misstatement in respect of irregularities,
including fraud and non-compliance with laws and regulations, was as follows:
the engagement partner ensured that the engagemenl team collectively had the appropriate
competence, capabilities and skills to identify or recognise non-compliance with applicable laws and
regulations.,
we identified the laws and regulations applicable to the Group through discussions with directors and
other management, and from our commercial knowledge and experience of the aviation and
automotive sector-
we focused on specific laws and regulations which we considered may have a direcl material effect on
th8 financial statements or the operations of the Group, including the Charities Act 2011, and taxation
legislation. We assessed the required compliance with these laws and regulations as part of our audit
on related financial statement items.,
we obtained an understanding of the entity's policies and procedures on compliance with laws and
regulations, including documentation of any instances of non-compliance.,
we identified which laws and regulations were significant in Ihe context of the entity,. and
identified laws and regulations were communicated within the audit team regularly and the team
remained alert to instances of non-compliance throughout th• audit.
We assessed the susceptibilrty of the Group's financial statements to material misstatement, including obtsining
an understanding of how fraud might occur, by..
making enquiries of management as to where they considered there was susceptibility to fraud, their
knowledge of actual, suspected and alleged fraud,. and
considering the internal controls in place to mitigate risks of fraud and non-compliance with laws and
regulations.
To address the risk of fraud through management bias and override of controls, we-
perfomed analytical procedures to identify any unusual or unexpected relationships.,
lested journal entries to identrfy unusual transactions;
investigated the rationale behind significant or unusual transactions., and
we used Audit Data Analytics to review the client data for unusual trendslanomalies,
In response to the risk of irregularities and non-compliance with laws and regulalions, we designed procedures
which included, but were nol limrted to..
agreeing financial statement disclosures to underlying supporting documentation.
reading the minutes of meetings of those charged wrth governance., and
enquiring of management as to actual and potential litigation and claims.
There are inherent limitation5 in our audit procedures described above. The more removed that laws and
regulations are from financial transactions, the less likely it is that we would become aware of non-compliance.
Audrting standards also limit the audit Procedures required to identfy non-compliance with laws and regulations
to enquiry of the directors and other management and the inspection of regulatory and legal correspondence, if
any.

and liabilities are initially recognised at historical cost or transaction value unless otherwise stated in
the relevant accounting policy.
The Statement of Financial Activities (SOFA) and Balance Sheet consolidate the financial
statements of The Richard Ormonde Shultleworth Remembrance Trust and its Slster trading
company Old Warden Limited (OVVLI. Both enlilies share a common parent in Richard Shuttleworth
Trustees, a company limited by guarantee. The Trustees have deemed that the Trust exerts control
and significant influence over OWL.
No separate SOFA has been presented for the Trust alone as pennitted by the applicable
regulations in the Charities SORP.
The net movement in funds for the charitable company alone for the year was £Nil {2023'. £Nil).
1.2 GOING CONCERN
The Trust has considerable financial resources and as a consequence, the Trustees believe that the
Trust is well placed to manage its business risks successfully and accordingly has a reasonable
expectation thal the Trust has adequate resources to continue in operational existence for at least
12 months from the dale the financial statements are signed. Accordingly, the Trustees continue to
adopt the going concern basis in preparing the 8nnual report and financial statements.
1.3 INCOME
All income is recognised once the Trust has entitlement to the income, it is probable that the income
will be received and the amount of income receivable can be measured reliably.
Voluntary income with or without donor imposed restrictions are recognised in the Statement of
Financial Activrties when the Trusl is entitled to it. Restricted income is retained within the Restricted
reserves until such time that il is utilised in line with such restrictions, at which point the income is
released to general reserves through a reserve transfer.
For legacies, entitlement is taken as the earlier of the date on which either.. the Trust is aware that
probate has been granted, the estate has been finalised and notification has been made by the
executor(s) to the Trust that a distribution will be made. or when a distribution is received from the
estate. Receipt of a legacy, whole or in part, is only considered probable when the amount can be
measured reliably and the Trust has been notified of the executor's intention to make a distribution.
Vvhere legacies have been notified to the Trust, or the Trust is aware of the granting of probate, and
the criteria for income recognition have not been met, then the legacy is treated as a contingent
asset and disclosed if material.
No amounts are included in the financial statements for services donated by volunteers.

related expenditure is incurred.
1.6 TANGIBLE FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION
All assets costing more than £500 are capitalised.

1.9 REVALUATIONS OF INVESTMENTS
Investments include property and quoted investments and are administered under a Total Return
Approach to investment.
The Trust has adopted the revaluation model to revalue properties held for investment whose fair
value can be measured reliably. The revaluations shall be made with sufficient regularity lo ensure

value at the end of the reporting period,
Other investments are revalued annually to open mathet value.
The policy in respect of investment surpluses is as follows..
Any increase or decrease in the value of the investments and the net income is credited or debited
to the endowment fund, being included in the Unapplied Total Retum.,
The Unapplied Total Return is subject to a transfer to pemanent endowment in respect of a sum
authorised by the Board of the Corporate Trustee. The cumulative rate used in these statements is
30A. The transfer is designed to maintain the real value of the Trust's endowment,.
A further transfer is made to general reserves in respect of the 'spending rule, in accordance Wlth
the Charity Commission Total Return Order. The rate applied in the financial statements is 40/0 of
the average investment balance for the preceding five years.
1.10 INVESTMENT PROPERTY
Investmenl properties are included at fair value and the aggregate surplus or deficit is transferred to
Endowment Reserves. A formal valuation is perfomed at least every 3 years for commercial
properties and 5 years for residential properties. For the inleryening years, regional yields
published by third paty specialists such as Knight Frank or Savills are used as the basis of the
valuation of the properties. However, the Trustees may request a fomial valuation in the intervening
years should it be deemed necessary. The last fomial valuation was carried out by Robinson and
Hall as at 31 October 2023.
1.11 STOCKS
Stocks are valued at the lower of cost and net realisable value after making due allowance for
obsolete and slow-moving stocks.

Liabilities are recognised when there is an obligation at the Balance Sheet date as a result of a past
event, it is probable that a transfer of economic benefit will be required in settlement, and the
amount of the settlement can be estimated reliably.
Liabilities are recognised at the amount that the Trust anticipates it will pay to settle the debt or the
amounl il has received as advanced payments for the goods or services it must provide.
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the amounts required to settle the obligation.
Where the effect of the tirne value of money is material, the provision is based on the present value
of those amounts. discounted at the pre-tax discount rate that reflects the risks specific to the
liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognised in the Consolidated Statement of Financial
Activities as a finance cost.
1.15 FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Trust only has financial assets and financial liabilities of a kind that qualify as basic financial
inslrumenls. Basic financial instwments are initially recognised at transaction value and
subsequently measured at their settlement value with the ex￿ptIon of bank loans which a

amounts payable by the Trust to the fund in respect of the year.

The Trust was formed in 1944 for the purpose of providing a permanent memorial lo the memory of
Richard Ormonde Shuttleworth, who was killed in 1940 in a flying accident whilst on active service in the
RAF, by the provision of a museum and college. This has been achieved by the establishment of The
Shuttleworth Collection, an active museum of principally pre Second World War aircraft, many unique
and in flying condition with hangers and airfield, and also the provision and support to The Shuttleworth
College, which uses the Mansion and surrounding premises and parkland for its aclivrties. The property
is fundamental to the core activilps of the charitable activities and the Trust's obiects, a5 are the exhibits
and historic artefacts depicting the Shuttleworth inheritance, many of which are irreplaceable and of
national importance. These properties and artefacts are not assets in the normal sense as they have
permanence while the Trust has a conlinuing responsibility to protect and rnaintain them for future
generations, the costs of which cannot be fully assessed.
Paintings and Artefacts
The Mansion contains a large number of paintings, artefacts and fumiture collected by the Shuttleworth
Family, an inventory of which is maintained by Christies, valuer, recording the nature, provenance and
location. The Trust has adopted a policy to value the contents of the Mansion every 5 years for insurance
purposes, the last valuation was undertaken by Christies in June 2022.
The Trustees placed the figure of £2.5 million as the market value of these assets as at 1 November
2012 and have reviewed this figure in light of the June 2022 valuation and consider the value still
appropriate.
The paintings underwent a conditions survey in 2007 by an independent conservator and following this a
10 year repair programme was agreed by the Trust. The furniture is ￿vieWed by Christies on a five
yearly basis and repairs done on an ad hoc basis.

Exhibits at the Collection
These are made up of the aircraft. engines. motorcycles, propellers and costumes. Inventories are
maintained and the Trustees placed a conservative informal valuation of £17 million on these assets as
at 1 Novembef 2012 and consider the value still appropriate. Since this date net acquisitions have been
made in the sum of £467,000. The aircraft and cars are deemed to have indeterminate lives and the
Trustees believe that the benefits of obtaining formal valuations would not justify the cost, additionally
this
would be difficult due to their unique natura. It is the Collection's policy to maintain the aircraft, motor
vehicles and motorcycles In full working order and maintenance costs are charged to the Statement of
Financial Aclivilies. As noted in note 29. the SVAS providès volunteer support in the maintenance of the
exhibits plus an annual donation towards the costs.

All investments are carried at their fair value. Investment in equities and fixed interesl securilies are all
Iraded in quoted public markets, primarily in the London Stock Exchange. Holdings in common
investment funds, unit trusts and open-ended investment companies are at the bid price. The basis of
fair
value for quoted investments is equivalent to the market value, using the bid price. Asset sales and
purchases are recognised at the date of trade at cost (that is their transaction value).
The charity is operating an investment policy that provides for a degree of diversification of holdings with
different common investment funds. This helps to mitigale the impact of significant movemenls in
