I need a bit more information before I invest an hour. How old is "really old"?

Well, it's from Shuttleworth, so offhand I'd say the average is about 70 years old.
The "oldest" are replicas, if I'm not mistaken, but built to the original specs for the most part, and using original engines.

Ahh, the Shuttleworth Collection. Been there.

I didn't get through all of it "yet" but so far that looks like a blast!

Very cool. While risky, they were meant to fly and I applaud them for doing so.
