Регистрационный номер: HM583 [2], G-AJVX [2], VH-BBK [2] The M.28/II second prototype HM583, similar to the M.28/I but with 145 hp Gipsy Major IIA, three seats and the 'lozenge' shape rear windows. The thickened wing joints which totally enclose the undercarriage legs and wheels can be clearly seen from this angle.
George Miles flying the Miles M.28 Mk II, HM583. First flown in 1942, this aircraft was powered by a 140 h.p. D.H. Gipsy Major IIA engine, had three seats and featured a hydraulically-operated retractable undercarriage. HM583 was used as a communications aircraft by the Miles company; after the war it was re-engined with a 150 h.p. Blackburn Cirrus Major III and registered G-AJVX, but was sold in Australia as VH-BBK in 1950.Самолёты на фотографии: Miles Mercury / M.28 - Великобритания - 1941

Регистрационный номер: HM583 [2], G-AJVX [2], VH-BBK [2] Another view of HM583 in its pre-June 1942 RAF markings, ailerons in opposition as it banks away from the photographic aircraft.
This view of the Miles M.28 Mk II HM583 shows well the low aspect ratio wings and the undercarriage in the retracted position.Самолёты на фотографии: Miles Mercury / M.28 - Великобритания - 1941

Регистрационный номер: U0232 Views of the Miles M.28 prototype, U-0232. This four-seater was powered by a 130 h.p. Gipsy Major I engine and carried four people. Note the very thick wing section, low, knuckle-type undercarriage, absence of rear windows and excellent pilot visibility. U-0232 was dismantled in 1942 and its tail and fuselage were used in the prototype Miles M.38 Messenger.
