Одноместный самолет M.13 Hobby строился для участия в гонках на Королевский кубок 1937 года, на машине стоял мотор de Havilland Gipsy Major II мощностью 140 л. с. Из-за сложностей с убираемым шасси самолет не достроили, но продали британским ВВС для продувок в натурной аэродинамической трубе.

A rare photograph of the Hobby in the air, taken only days before the 1937 King's Cup Race.
With its feet tucked up, and with a final coat of dope, the Miles Hobby will look far prettier than it does in this, its experimental state. -

WOODWORK AS A HOBBY: Mr. F. G. Miles' own pet entry for the King's Cup race. Christened the Hobby, it is powered with one of the new Series II Gipsy Majors driving a "1,000" size D.H. v.p. airscrew. Unorthodox features of this fascinating little wooden racer are the wide track and the short span, which is actually less than the length.
