16th, 23rd & 30th November 1944:
Wartime W S Shackleton advert: £695!!! Miles Sparrowhawk Gipsy Major high compression engine, splendid condition, current C of A, total hours since new 515, fitted brakes, flaps, airlog, navigation lights, blind flying; maximum speed 185 mph; range 900 miles.
This must have been G-ADNL c/n 239 which was purchased by Geoffrey Alington on 17.4.39. After the undercarriage collapsed on the Desoutter he had been allocated he used the Sparrowhawk as his wartime runabout, which explains the current CofA offered. The 360° navigation light fitted during its war service identifies it as the Sparrowhawk described above.Самолёты на фотографии: Miles Sparrowhawk / M.5 - Великобритания - 1935
