Our Miles Martinet is on its undercarriage for the first time since July 1951 🙂 The restoration guys have done a great job …..

Hi Aero51,
Have you got an engine? Might be an idea to post a ‘wants list’ here. You never know…Nice to see it.
Cheers / salut
We have 2 engines (in differing states) but wouldn’t say no to a 3rd in excellent condition 🙂

Looks fabulous, am I right in thinking the Martinet is a target towing version of the Master, looking forward to the final paint scheme 😀 😀
It was based on the Master and utilized as many standard parts as possible.

It is looking a lot better now than it did last time I saw it 😀
Last time I saw it it was all covered in dirt, in storage with the Icelandic Historic Aviation Society. I was one of the guys from that group showing the Berkshire guys around the wreck. I never forget a sentence one of them said. ‘It’s better than we expected’ When I looked at the sad remains, all covered in dirt, I could not possibly imagine anything less appealing as a restoration poject.
This truly is a great effort, and a job well done!!!
To show people how she looked here is a picture from Mrs. Erna Hjaltalin, one of the owners, when the aircraft was on the Icelandic Civil Register. Date of the picture is a bit hazey, but probably 1949. It is in the southern end of hangar no.1 at Reykjavik Airport.
