Miles Sparowjet

Sorry if it’s a little off topic and is not quite the real thing, but at the weekend I was sorting through the balsa models my late father made (but mostly never completed) which included the Sparrowjet.

R7 refers to the number of registered owners under that reg since allocation

Aah – makes more sense: thanks 🙂

A real speed amchine…172 mph would look good at Old Warden Race days http://www.air-racing-history.com/aircraft/Miles%20Sparrow%20Hawk.htm

CAA have its Reference “G-ADNL/R7” – does that denote rebuild status? If so it’s had a busy life.

Not much metal in a Sparrowhawk and when you take out the necessary metallic bits of the Sparrowjet, not much left from that time. Shame it won’t emerge as a twin jet, but any Miles product in the skies is better than none!

Nooooo – I’d rather see a Sparrowhawk any day! It would be interesting to know how much of G-ADNL survived the Upavon fire and has gone into this restoration.

But you will be disappointed as – the engine is not a jet!

Engine in, tail is on…

I will ask around for you..
