From Peter Amos, our Miles specialist, we were pleased to receive this copy of a photo showing Magisters LR-AAK and 'L at Woodley. On p.85/94 we noted that the CofA register quoted different marks but this photo proves that the registrations were used and it is likely to have been taken immediately prior to delivery. In the background is one of the U.9 Messengers after delivery from Newtownards.

The photograph which we received recently from John Wegg shows an Avro Anson somewhere in the USA, probably in the mid-West in the early 1960s. In the information which John obtained with the negative it stated that the registration was N465C but this is not visible on the photo. It appears to have a magnetometer or similar device under the fuselage and thus may have been a survey aircraft. In the editor's US register of 1.64 N465C was a 1963 model Cessna 310H so the Anson was presumably cancelled by then. There is one other clue, the Cessna 195 in the hangar behind is N4438C which on 1.64 was regd to Keystone Aerial Surveys of Glenside, PA. Perhaps the company owned both aircraft? Any details of the identity, operator or location will be gratefully received.

The editor has sketched the two types to show that the Breda had an interplane strut above the engine nacelle while the Dragon Rapide has one outboard of the engine.

This looks much like E6 as shown on p.85/119 but the cockpit windscreens seem to extend much lower than on other examples and the tailwheel is placed forward of the sternpost.

Possibly the earliest view of the design? This is very similar to that of 18.8.37 on p.85/84 but without windshields at all. Engine rotation is the opposite of the Gipsy Minor, ie: it is anticlockwise from the front, clockwise from the pilot's viewpoint.

This coupé appears to be identical to the October 1937 version on p.85/84. It has the same engine rotation as all these pre-Gipsy Minor examples. Further comments on these or the original photos would be welcome.
