Weston, who also became the Bristol company's representative in South Africa. Other examples were exported to Germany (2), Spain (2) and single machines to Romania, India, Bulgaria and Sweden. Flyable reproductions No original Bristol Boxkites aeroplanes have survived, but three authentic flyable reproductions were built by the F. G. Miles group for the film Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines. These were initially powered by a Rolls-Royce Continental A65 air-cooled flat four, but this produced insufficient power, since the higher RPM of the mid-20th century engine driving a small-diameter modern propeller was inefficient at the low airspeed achieved by the Boxkite. The 65 hp flat-four was therefore replaced by a Continental O-200-B engine. With the increased power these proved flyable enough to be used for cross-country flights between filming locations. Another tribute to the soundness of the design is that the calculations made for the purpose of granting the necessary Certificates of Airworthiness found that the stressing of the design was very close to modern requirements. After filming one was sent to the Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery. Another went to the Shuttleworth Collection in Bedfordshire (where it is still flown during flying displays, when the weather permits), and the third to the Museum of Australian Army Flying in Queensland. A Bristol Boxkite replica was constructed for the Australian Centenary of Military Aviation Air Show 2014. It made its first test flight on 11 September 2013 at RAAF Base Williams, Point Cook. The replica was built at the RAAF Museum over a seven-year period and will be displayed at the museum. Specifications (Extended {military version}) Military operators Central Flying School, Australian Flying Corps at Point Cook, Victoria, Australia operated four Boxkites from 1914 to 1918. The original was built by British & Colonial Aeroplane Company in 1913. A second order in 1914 from Bristol was not fulfilled, and instead, the CFS built a second aircraft from parts in 1915. Two Boxkite XV were ordered in 1916 and built by Grahame-White Aviation Company.
