Description
This museum is of particular importance because of the man who it is named after. Percy Pilcher was killed in a glider accident before he was able to finish working on an engine of potentially great historical significance. If he had been able to complete the engine it would likely have been Percy Pilcher who had conducted the first powered flight rather than the Wright brothers.
