Whilst looking through an old copy of Wrecks and Relics, I stumbled across two Miles Hawk trainer III’s at Old Warden in 1980.
G-AIUA ex T9768 & G-ANWO ex L8262.
Does anyone recall whether they were complete airframes or just boxes of components, after having a look on the web I have read that some parts were incorporated into the Shuttleworth collection Miles Magister and supposedly into Hairyplanes V1075 Hawk Trainer.
I have been going to Old Warden since the very early 80’s and have never seen either airframe, does anyone know what happened to these two Hawk Trainers.

Would that be with Acebell ?

I seem to remember the fuselage of G-AIUA has done the rounds. It’s currently at Redhill as a potential rebuild project. She was the mount of Nepean-Bishop if my memory serves me right.
