PREPAREDNESS REWARDED: All the eleven Miles Hawks and the two Miles Falcons lined up for inspection by a large number of guests on the day before the King's Cup entries were due at Hatfield for presentation before the scrutineers. The firm will probably go down in history as the first to be completely ready for the race, and their preparedness was certainly rewarded with four machines in the first five of the final. It was extraordinary that all the machines could have been brought for the presentation as many of them had already been delivered. During the afternoon Mr. Miles demonstrated the manoeuvrability of the New Hawk M.5. with a display of superbly executed aerobatics.
