THE DAWN RAID "Harts" of No. 57 (Bomber) Squadron from Upper Heyford off on a raid over Northland

Dual control has been arranged in a neat manner which, obviates the necessity of having two control columns or the swing over type. The "Falcon" is extremely economical, 20 miles to the gallon, comparable to a light car, and with a top speed of 145 m.p.h. and cruising of 125 m.p.h. is faster than any other 3/4 seater of similar horse power. Easier to fly, quicker take-off, and lower landing speed are obtained with the hydraulically operated Miles split flaps, and with them 10% REBATE IN INSURANCE.

The fuselage of the Miles "Falcon" is unusually wide, and comfort has been specially considered in the design of the seating accommodation. The roof, sides and floor of the cabin are doubled, and between is packed a special light soundproof material, resulting in a very high degree of sound insulation being attained. The noise of the airscrew and engine has been so reduced that passengers may converse easily and without strain. The new type windscreen prevents rain from obscuring the view and at the same time affords the occupants an extensive outlook.
