This fine selection, dating from the mid-to-late 1940s, was submitted by reader LAWRIE COHEN, and taken at airfields in the south of England. They include a surprising range of types, from tourers and transports to WW2 fighters...This aircraft, JN275, was the first of two prototypes of the Miles M.37 Martinet Trainer, which was first flown at Woodley by Ken Waller on April 11,1946. A number of changes to the basic Martinet included the raised rear cockpit. The M.37 did not enter production - the turboprop-powered Boulton Paul Balliol and Avro Athena were in the offing - but the Martinet Trainer was tried out by several RAP units including the Empire Test Pilots' School before being scrapped in September 1981.
