Whilst parked on the temporary BHAM site during the gales of 5 September 1967, this recently renovated aircraft was lifted 15ft into the air and thrown over Anson TX211, parked alongside. The nose of the Anson was crushed and the Magister came to rest across the wings of the Anson and Drover VH-EAS, which suffered only slight damage. The Magister was destroyed.

Ex Turkish AF 5077, RAAF R1954 (adf-serials.com.au). Registered as TC-KAH after military service.

At one time with the FAA as P6411, this aircraft had been stored at Plymouth/Roborough for some years, and for a short time was owned by the CFI of Plymouth Aero Club. It is seen here just prior to leaving for the Historic Aircraft Museum, Southend. I understand that it was damaged beyond repair in a gale at Southend on 5 September 1967, having been repainted in military marks. The registration was eventually cancelled on 6 July 1973 as permanently withdrawn from use.

One of the 13 aircraft assembled on the eastern boundary at Southend for the nascent British Historic Aircraft Museum. Painted as P6411, it had been destroyed by gales at Southend on 5th September 1967. It was scrapped circa 1969.

1303 examples of the Miles Magister elementary trainer were built. 27 of these went to Ireland from 1939, and No 34, formerly N5392 of the RAF, is suspended from the ceiling in the Collins Barracks National Museum together with a Vampire jet - it might have been a Fouga Magister!
