It was indeed a Miles Student.
I propose that any future challenge should only be answered by someone who is prepared to contribute a challenge of their own, unless that's being a bit too demanding?

'Tee Hee' is my rendering of a 'Snicker' and a Snickers chocolate bar in the UK used to be called a?
One was allocated to RAE Farnborough and used on the Farnborough - Westcott - Bedford ferry service (occasionally stopping at Twinwoods Farm rather than Bedford itself.)
I was told that with a full load of passengers it could not climb very high and that the passengers hated it in winter as there was no heating.

Yes it's a Marathon. I only met one navigator who'd received training in a Marathon and he wasn't very complimentary about it. Slow and with a very poor rate of climb (30 min to 15000ft if light enough) and they often bumped around at 5-7000 ft in and out of cloud.
There was a nasty fatal accident following probable loss of control leading to an overstress - it was later established thet the stick force per 'g' at high speed was much lighter than the RAF requirement.
