		Miles Aircraft was a British manufacturer of light civil and military aircraft.
		Famous creations include the Hawk Trainer and its military variant, the Magister, as well as the Messenger and the Gemini.
		Having produced a revolutionary load carrier, the Aerovan, and almost produced the first jet aircraft to break the sound barrier - the Miles M.52 Supersonic Research aircraft whose design greatly influenced the Bell X-1, the company went into receivership in 1947, with its aircraft interests being mainly bought by Handley Page Aircraft.

		Surprisingly, he was successful and the aircraft was shipped to Latvia in the summer of 1939.
		The Magister was acquired only as a temporary measure - the intent was that the new aircraft being designed and built by VEF would fulfill the monoplane trainer function.
		Nov.11, 1942 - the Magister, captured by the germans and being used in Estonia, is crashed and destroyed in a forced landing by an Estonian pilot (Aleksander Lepa), who survived.

		Mach is a unit of measurement of velocity relative to the speed of sound - sound travelling at Mach 1 (1,300 kmh) - therefore, a speed of Mach 2 is twice the speed of sound (2,600 kmh).
		The Miles M-14 Magister was a British primary trainer aircraft of the Second World War.
		The Miles M-14 Magister was a low-wing cantilever monoplane made of wood with open cockpits in tandem and powered by a De Havilland Gipsy-Major 4-cyclinder inline inverted air-cooled engine providing a top speed of 232 kmh.

		Introduced in 1937, it was the R.A.F.'s first monoplane trainer and was derived from a long series of civil aircraft produced by Mr F.G. Miles.
		A standard elementary training type in the Royal Air Force, the "Magister" is a low-wing monoplane with fixed undercarriage and powered with a De Havilland Gipsy Major engine of 130 h.p.
		Split trailing-edge flaps are fitted and it is claimed that the "Magister" reproduces many of the characteristics of modern high performances Service aircraft.

		The Miles Magister is a two-seat, cantilver, low-wing monoplane with a fixed spatted undercarriage.
		Although Magisters are usually flown with the wheels enclosed by spats there are also many flying without spats.
		Incidentally, the 'g' in Magister should be soft as in 'majesty'.

		The Miles M.52 was intended to become the first supersonic aircraft.

		Apparently this was because manned test flights were considered to dangerous, and an series of unmanned scale models were planned instead.

		In June 1940, some 16 Miles Magisters adapted each to carry eight 25-lb (113-kg) bombs under centre-section, for emergency use against expected German invasion forces.
		Two Miles Magisters fitted with Maclaren castering (crosswind) undercarriages for demonstration to Army Co-operation squadrons; another used by Miles in 1941 to test-fly a 'towed wing', attached aft of tailplane by twin booms from the mainplane and intended to carry (in application on other aircraft types) extra fuel or bomb-load.
		RAF diverted 23 Miles Magisters to Royal Egyptian Air Force in 1940 and 15 to Irish Air Corps in 1939.

		Whilst L6906 was not intended to be built to flying standards it does faithfully represents the method of wooden construction used by Phillips and Powis Aircraft Ltd, in the 1930's for their series of low wing light and sporting monoplanes.

		I highly recommend both of them (Ugly 30 and Ugly Bipe)and the Magister is designed by Dave Platt, one of the greatest scale modellers of all time, so it must be good.

		I drove one to Rouvres, arriving shortly after dark, and begged the loan of the 73 Squadron Miles Magister runabout aircraft for the next morning.
		Close proximity of the radar station to the squadron fostered a collaboration that made up, to some extent, for the loss of 50 miles range by the radar station, and several German reconnaissance aircraft were shot down by Nos 1 and 73 Squadrons during the so-called ‘phoney war’ of the autumn and winter of 1939.
		I had some unexpected duties too: in the 1930s all scientists were expected to read and speak German, so I was given the job of interpreter when the squadron wished to bail one German pilot out of a French gaol and give him dinner before delivering him to the military prison at Verdun.

		Extracts from wartime letters written by Geoffrey Hall to his father and mother (who were themselves temporarily separated when his schoolteacher father was evacuated from SE London with his school).
		Joining the RAF Volunteer Reserve at 19, Geoff did all his elementary training at Croydon from March to May 1939 in a Miles Magister, taking about 10 flying hours over six days to go solo, and a further 50 hours to complete the course and pass the RAF Test.
		Having resumed flying once again after the rains of February, we are being worked to death with lectures and P.T. thrown in - you might not think that a 250 mile cross-country flight is hard work, but it jolly well is when you aren’t used to it.

		Almost simultaneously I was able to enlist the support of friends in the Reading Film and Video Makers (of which I was a founder member in 1957) to investigate the possibility of making a video of the History of Aviation in Berkshire for display and, hopefully, for sale in the Museum to help boost funds.
		It was hoped that some of the film in the Museum storeroom would be of pre-war Miles activities.
		I have been told by Peter Amos of the Miles Association that the films given to the RAF Museum at Hendon, which he has thoroughly inspected on Super VHS video seem to be virtually oddments collected from cutting room floor and of no use for our purpose.

		Based on the civilian Miles Hawk design, the Magister was designed in response to Air Ministry Specification T40/36 for a monoplane elementary trainer for the RAF.
		The first examples of the all-wooden trainer were delivered in May 1937, but a number were soon lost to inability to recover from spinning, forcing an extensive redesign (M 14A).
		A total of 1229 a/c were built between 1937 and 1941.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Gregory the Great
		One of his first acts was to banish all the lay attendants, pages, etc., from the Lateran palace, and substitute clerics in their place.
		The inroads of the Lombards had filled the city with a multitude of indigent refugees, for whose support Gregory made provision, using for this purpose the existing machinery of the ecclesiastical districts, each of which had its deaconry or "office of alms".
		Varying estimates place their total area at from 1300 to 1800 square miles, and there seems no reason for supposing this to be an exaggeration, while the income arising therefrom was probably not less than $1,500,000 a year.
