Miles aircraft in Galway

I have been operating out of Galway airport for the last week and spotted what looks like a Miles Falcon or Whitney Straight tucked away in one of the hangars. I haven't managed to wander over to get a proper look but can anyone tell me what it is, registration who owns it etc? Thanks in advance.

I wonder is it one of the late Russell Winn's Miles Geminis or Aries. He had a collection of these planes in the 1960s and 70s.

That will be Moth Minor Coupe G-AFNG. A delightful aircraft supposedly cared for by her owners but actually slowly rotting away, no CofA but for sale. Would need a fair bit of work, but not beyond hope yet.
