The Miles M-39B Experimental Twin-engined Tandem-wing Monoplane (two 130 h.p. D.H. Gipsy-Major engine).

The M.39B single-seat research aircraft of ‘libellula’ configuration, with George Miles at the controls.

This Junkers Ju 52/3m fuselage was photographed at Woodley in 1948, or thereabouts. It is believed that it was used by the newly-formed Air Britain as their HQ. Note the remains of the tandem-wing Miles M.39B Libellula in front of the aircraft.
