G'day folks!
An ex-Policeman suggested I add a post here, and always delighted to oblige the law...
Also happy to keep this amazing thread going. Soon to be avaliable as "the Mmmmiles thread book - bigger n' War n' Peas"!
What we really need is a replica of the Miles Hobby. Yes, 'Hobby' is a member of the Hawk family (both natural history and Mmmmmiles) and was a one off by the Miles clan as a tiny racer with a (troublesome) retractable undercarriage. Hobby was chosen as a name as the bird was tiny - so small that alegedly it would choke on the insects it caught Swift style...
I've only seen passing references to it, and an article with plans in a French mag I've got somewhere. Anyone keen?
Cheers
James K
