Bristol Boxkite - Knit one, Purl one....
Pilot Stu Goldspink, with his hand on the lever.
A Bristol Boxkite, designed in 1910, this replica was made in the mid-1960s for the movie 'Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines'
I wonder how long it takes to check the tension on all those bracing cables.....
The Boxkite was a relatively successful 2-seat training aircraft of its day, with 87 being constructed in the years before WW1. It can achieve a dizzying speed of approx 40mph/64km/h.
It is owned and operated by The Shuttleworth Collection in Bedford, England.
