Following on from the item in the last issue on the Miles M.18, this photo shows U11, the fourth prototype built for trials at the Royal Aircraft Establishment. It had span-wise leading-edge slots and full-span slotted flaps. The tailplane and elevator were increased in size but control was poor at low speeds and the aircraft was laterally unstable. Upturned wingtips were later fitted and in this form it is seen at Woodley. The designation M.18HL was applied and it later became JN703.
