On leaving Shuttleworth a guy picked me up that turned out to be the Bristol Boxkite pilot. Shuttleworth houses the planes from "Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines". His glove box was full of goggles and leather flying helmets.

Visited the Shuttleworth collection a while ago. Going to revisit on my next GB visit, and make sure it's a flying display day.
