Bristol Aero Talk: Flying the Shuttleworth Bristol Boxkite Replica
Tuesday 14th January, 7:15pm, The John James Theatre
The Bristol Boxkite replica flying at the Shuttleworth Season Premiere Airshow in 2018
The British and Colonial Aeroplane Company Boxkite first flew on 30 July 1910 at Larkhill, and a total of 78 airframes were constructed. Although no original aircraft survive, three replicas were built for the film Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines, one of which is housed in the Shuttleworth Collection. Dodge Bailey, a pilot for the Shuttleworth Trust, will give a talk on flying this Bristol Boxkite replica.
Pre booking is not required for this event, it is open to the public at Aerospace Bristol.
