If it's in one of your books, you're way ahead of me.

I've got the M12 in one of mine, plus photo, but all it says about the M13 is:

"The one-off M13 Hobby, a tiny single-seater built for the 1937 Kings' Cup race, had a 140hp Gipsy Major 2 engine. Trouble with the retractable landing gear prevented it from competing and it was sold eventually to the RAE for full-scale wind tunnel tests".

You guys are correct it is the Miles M13 Hobby
Endorsed..........so Skytrain10 has control as the first to name the Hobby. If I'd have been around at 11.00 we would have missed out on the debate.

Cheers Doug

Apart from the absence of the RWR pod, the fins are all Su27.

Evening all,

I think your right skytrain, but in view of all the confusion over names, I was going to say it's the MIG Project (or Article or Object) 1.44 or even the Mig-MFI
Every site you check, there seems to be another designation, but I do like "Flatpack" !!

Thanks Richard,

I'll have to declare Open House, as I'm off-line in about half an hour, probably until Saturday.

It looks like it was built in that shed behind it by a bloke with a beard!
