Pictures of Miles aircraft photographed by Adrian Vaughan.
About the mid fifties, G-AFBS, a one time part of the Airways Aero Club [for the airline employees - BEA and BOAC] and sold to us at the other side of the field. The lady and small boy are unknown to me, but with them is the club CFI, Derek [inevitably, "Wilbur,"] Wright who trained me for my instructor's rating.
The callow youth, in what is G-AJZH, is myself aged sixteen, 49 years ago, at the Denham Flying Club.
The very handsome Hawk Major I saw about the mid seventies when it was flown by a Chaplain to the Canadian Armed Forces. It was some fly-in, in South Western Ontario, probably at Orillia, about a hundred and more miles north and west of Toronto.
