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.

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.
