Miles Magister

Miles Magister

The Miles M.14 Magister was a British two-seat monoplane basic trainer aircraft built by the Miles Aircraft for the Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. Affectionately known as the Maggie, the Magister was based on Miles' civilian Hawk Major and Hawk Trainer and was the first monoplane designed specifically as a trainer for the RAF. As a low-wing monoplane, it was an ideal introduction to the Spitfire and Hurricane for new pilots.

Famous quotes containing the word miles:

    I skirted the margin alders for miles and miles
    In a sweeping line.
    The day was the day by every flower that blooms,
    But I saw no sign.
