This Hawk Trainer replica has been beautifully reconstructed from surviving components of Miles Magister T9841, which was one of the last batch of 300 Magister I aircraft delivered from Woodley between May 1940 and January 1941. It was first used by No. 16 EFTS and then by No. 11 EFTS before being sold to BOAC for use by their Speedbird flying club in June 1948. Registered as G-AKKY it flew until being withdrawn from use in November 1964. The frame languished for many years during which time the fuselage and centre section was destroyed.
