Miles M14A Hawk Trainer 3 G-AKAT

Real Aeroplane Company

The Miles Magister was the RAF's first monoplane trainer, entering service in 1937. The Magister was a military version of the Miles Hawk, with larger cockpits and blind flying equipment.

Initially the Magister suffered from spin recovery problems, and a number were lost in accidents. With the help of the A & AEE, Miles re-designed the rear fuselage, rudder and tailplane. The re-designed version, designated the M 14A, proved very successful, and remained in production until 1941.
