Look very at home in there…
I love Miles aircraft…
Never sat in one but have swung Hairyplane’s a couple of times… Closest I suppose I’ll get.
You’re quite right about the standard of work that they have carried out on both aircraft. What will they be working their magic on next do you know??

Magister / Hawk Trainer III?

Surprised no one has come up with this so far…”Supercalifragilisticexpialdocious” 😀

(I bet this post leaves at least one of you humming the song all afternoon…ha ha!)

How could you.. Hum hum hum… I thought you were… hum hum hum… a nice person… Damn that tune!

Um-diddly-diddly-dum-diddly-eye…

AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!!! 😡 😉

Of the three airworthy ones… Shuttleworth still have theirs as you say, one went to Mr. Weeks out in the US and the Belgian one got a wee bit bent and is awaiting(?) repair

JDK probably took the photos because it was in bits… Something for him to smile about

I was lucky enough to fly with Mr. Jordan in his Stearman (01 May 1989 – he was about 64 then!!!). Fantastic man.

Thanks for sharing those. I was at Baxterley on Saturday home of G-AOIR for a VAC member’s only fly-in. Gorgeous weather…
Did you manage to have a look at the interior of the Zlin. Fantastic. They flew in to a VAC do at TW a while back and it was better than new. It had been off to ZLin specialists who operate next door to the current factory and most of who used to work for the company.
Nice to see the Taylorcraft is still flying after Maurice’s death. Wondereed what had happened to it.

Don’t you just love the designs from this time?? Definately different!
