Miles M.17

I have recently come across reference to a Miles M.17, but can’t find any such model. Was there such an aircraft or project or is it just a mispell of M.14? Hope somebody can enlighten me 🙂

The White Waltham Monarch, taken a little more recently. Sadly…..

So if M.17 was a misprint of M.14, Ole, the reference across which you came would have been to a Miles Hawk Trainer Mk. III (or, from 1937, the Magister)?

The M17 is better known as the Monarch. A 3 seat cabin monoplane, only a small number built in 1938/9 due to work on the Magister. Survivors are G-AFLW long stored at White Waltham and G-AFRZ also stored somewhere.

Ole,
Google “Miles M-17”. Wiki will give you all.
Alternatively, you need to get a copy of of the book “Wings Over Woodley” by Julian C Temple.
Your third option is to email [email]MuseumBerksAv@gmail.com[/email] where they will have all the details.
