Miles Hawk Speed Six
I got a shock on Saturday when I pulled open the hangar door at Old Warden and saw Roger Mills' beautiful Speed Six alongside my Miles machines.
What a tease! (though shalt not covet thy neighbours posessions...)
It appears that the Six is going to be displayed by him next weekend so decided to deliver it early.
The aircraft used to be based at OW and was very popular with public and pilots alike.
The plan is to move it from Fairoaks to White Waltham. However, I am on the case to try to bribe him to leave it in The Collection, where it will be lovingly cared for and much admired, rather than stuck out of the way at WW (next to Dalziels shameful pile of poo in the dusty black hangar that was once a lovely Miles Monarch until he decided to have a brain f@rt and allow it to rot despite offers from nutters like me to buy it and preserve it for future generations.)
Roger flies Sally B and has plenty of other exotica under his belt.
Nice guy. He will love the operation at OW. Bloke Heaven!
If anybody out there can help me to persuade him to bring the Six back to OW on a permanent basis he will make a lot of people happy, most of all meeeee!
Fingers crossed.
