Регистрационный номер: THK-59 THK.59 standing chocked-up ready for the next sortie with the Flying School at Etimesgut. On the far side of the airfield are C-47s of the TuAF Transport Regiment which was also based there.
One of the 100 Miles M.14A Magisters constructed under licence by the Turkish Air League (THK), where, as Vaclav Nemecek points out, aircraft design was under the direction of Polish refugees.Самолёты на фотографии: Douglas DC-3 / C-47 Skytrain/С-53 Skytrooper / Dakota - США - 1935Miles Magister / M.14 - Великобритания - 1937

Magister 3574, identified as one of the 76 delivered 1941-43 from RAF stocks - note the small flag on the tail fin. Photo dates from 1954-56 as the F-86s visible behind were withdrawn in 1957.

Регистрационный номер: THK-77 The silver THK.77 preserved at the Air Force Museum at Yesilkoy near Istanbul. Note the small red flag on the rudder and THK serial above. This is a controversial example as it is said to be an ex-RAF aircraft.

An unidentified KTF Magister (red rudder) of the T.A.F. It is absolutely identical to the Miles Magister of the RAF down to the smallest detail, including the instrument flying hood in the stowed position behind the rear cockpit.

A THK Magister delivered to the TUAF in 1944, with serial 5003 on the fin just ahead of the small Turkish flag and the 'last two' of the serial 03 on the fuselage behind the Air Force insignia of a red square outlined in white. The cantilever undercarriage legs with Lockheed 'airdraulic' oleos stood up well to hard work, although here the starboard leg is a little low on pressure.

A large number of THK pilot trainees are women, which often surprises European observers, but the first Turkish female military pilot was trained in 1933 and the first female military jet pilots in 1953

The same Magisters as on the previous page at KTF seen later from the other end of the line. They are in the last stage before final assembly when they will be pushed out on their own wheels and the completed mainplanes fitted.

Регистрационный номер: TC-KAJ, TC-KAI THK Magister 5035 was modified with an enclosed cockpit in the course of development of the Ugur. It retained this feature when it reverted to THK use, becoming TC-KAI and is seen here as such next to a standard Magister registered TC-KAJ (5070).

Регистрационный номер: THK-50, THK-57 A line-up of about half of the Magisters in service with THK at Etimesgut, at least 27 aircraft can be counted, all with blind-flying hoods closed - perhaps as a means of keeping the rear cockpit cool on the ground in summer.

Регистрационный номер: THK-23 The Magister played a major role in the late fourties in promoting civil aviation in Turkey. The THK flew formations all over the country, as seen here, to raise public awareness and interest.

The pattern aircraft after conversion to a single-seat sprayer. It retains its original colour scheme but now wears a THK logo on the nose. In both the single-seat Magisters the front cockpit with spray tank fitted was covered over and the front windscreen was transferred to the rear cockpit.
An early Turkish Magister converted as a single-seat anti-malaria DDT sprayer with long underside exhaust pipe extension. The unusual paint scheme suggests it may be a conversion of the aircraft shown above.Самолёты на фотографии: Miles Magister / M.14 - Великобритания - 1937
