Glad you liked my Miles machine. Its a honey.

Its a Falcon BTW, not a Witney Straight. The newly restored gem of a Witney Straight ( not sure about the modern paint finish, modern brakes and non-standard electric flaps etc…) at Turweston is nothing to do with me.

The Witney Straight is effectively the same machine as my Magister, but with a side by side 2-seater fuz and a Falcon tail fin/ rudder.

The Falcon is a 3 seater – again pretty much sharing the same wing and tail as the Falcon/ Maggie but with trousered undercarriage and simple sprung U/C as opposed to the spatted wheels/ Airdraulic oleos of the WS and Maggie.

The Falcon is a much prettier machine IMO – but then I could be accused of bias…!!

All the best
