I've Loved his stuff since I saw Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. Hot Springs Arkansas has a Museum with copies of his inventions from the movie. I first saw them in real life there in the 1970s there. I also bought a poster of the Featherstone Kite there years ago and I still have it and a t-shirt with it on it I never wear.
I met him, at an exhibit of his works, at the Ontario Science Centre, in Toronto, Canada, in the 1970s. He autographed a poster of his work "Pro Bono Pussiquet Gloy Floribunda" (Stick to Pussycats and Roses, and All's Well).
There's a British Movietone video lurking somewhere deep in RUclips land that shows the finished contraption, made for the Ideal Home Exhibition... to extol the merits of the British GPO, via a 'cosmic magic carpet'
