Miles M.17 Monarch

Not in RAF guise but beautifully restored FJU at East Fortune

Thanks for the info Andy.

I’ve been tasked by my father on behalf of a friend of his in Australia, who had a relative who flew the Monarch during it’s wartime service, and who I believe is builing a flying model of the said type. At the moment we’re just trying to trace a photo of any of them in their wartime guises. Your info may help in narrowing down the search.

Cheers,

Charlie

Four Monarchs were impressed into RAF service.
They were:-

G-AFJU became X9306
G-AFJZ became W6462
G-AFRZ became W6463
OO-UMK became TP819, with 24 Sqn. Later back to G-AGFW and then finally OO-UMK again.

Which aircraft are you thinking of in particular?
Cheers
Andy
