It is hard to believe that such a conventional-looking aircraft as the Miles Magister came out of an aircraft factory that was virtually famous for unconventionally designed aircraft and novel concepts! Even if Miles Aircraft was not [...]

15 minutes of fame for a de Havilland Gipsy Major I or: from the spotlight into the darkness. A detailed story from the construction of the Miles Magister by Mikro Mir.

by Roland Sachsenhofer on June 19, 2023 · in Aviation · 12 ≡
