BOAC Sports Festival 09 June 1951



This is how G-AKKY looks today using major parts of the Hawk Trainer and other parts from a number of Magisters to recreate an earlier version of "L6906", a Miles 14A Magister. This is a photo I took earlier this year when I visited the Berkshire Aviation Museum at Woodley with my aviation group. G-AKKY was one of the two Hawk Trainers from the AAA which visited the BOAC Sports Festival at Heston , together with G-AKKV (Picture on Air Britain Photographic web site) Jack Randall who you maybe know, also flew with the AAA at Denham in 1948 is also involved with the Museum, which is well worth a visit and are their volunteers are currently working on the Miles Student and a Miles Martinet as restoration projects. Perhaps you are able to advise what type of Auster from the AAA flew in to Heston on the BOAC Sports Festival day.
