Hello,
Theres been quite a bit of publiciity about the “new” Bristol Boxkite to fly in Australia.
Is this the same one built in 1964 for “Those Magnificent Men…” or is it a newly built
airframe? Does anyone have any history of the one built for “TMMITFM”? Thanks

It’s new build, and I haven’t seen anyone complain about the info on the Wikipedia Boxkite page about the 3 built for TMMITFM.

Hi Simon
She’s a new build. Have a look at James Kightly’s blog for a good overview – http://vintageaeroplanewriter.blogspot.com/2013/09/the-raaf-museum-boxkite-airborne.html
