Apols, my previous pointed at Hairyplane was in fact for you. While I am searching the vault, how about this for Miles visitors, to Denham on 21 Sept 1958:
G-ADMW Hawk Major
G-AJDR Hawk Trainer 3
G-AJZH ditto
G-AKPL ditto
G-AJKS Gemini
G-AKWZ Messenger

It must have been a special day, because Spitfire AB910 and Hawker Tom-Tit G-AFTA also visited.

Heathrow also had a field day that same day, with five different RAF aircraft present, a Comet 2, Victor, Javelin, Beverley and Hunter!

An event at Kidlington on 24 April '59 attracted 14 Miles aircraft, including Monarch G-AIDE and Whitney Straight G-AERV.

I also noted that Student G-APLK was at Blackbushe during Farnborough week 1958 with 'fluorescent red wingtips'. I even photographed it with my box camera. It was the day after the Seahawk crashed there whilst part of the Navy team displaying at the show.

Oh yes, and G-AFBS crashed on landing after circling low (I wrote) at Blackbushe on Sunday, 14 June 1959. It was taken to Orion's hangar.
