Surviving Aircraft
No original Bristol Boxkites aeroplanes survive today, although three authentic flyable reproductions were created for the film Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. One was sent to the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery a second to the Shuttleworth Collection in Bedfordshire, which is still flown during their flying displays whenever the weather permits, and the third to the Museum of Australian Army Flying in Queensland.

Famous quotes containing the word surviving:
“For my own part, I commonly attend more to nature than to man, but any affecting human event may blind our eyes to natural objects. I was so absorbed in him as to be surprised whenever I detected the routine of the natural world surviving still, or met persons going about their affairs indifferent.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
