Strathallan Aircraft Collection Miles Monarch G-AFJU - Strathallan

Photographer's remark
(7.4.2008, 21:47 CET)
A total of eleven of the George Miles designed Monarchs were built, production being stopped by the war. G-AFJU was built as a private aircraft, impressed into service in 1940 as X9306 before being restored to private use postwar. It was purchased in 1983 by the APSS with an aim of being restored to a high display standard and loaned to the National Museums of Scotland on completion. It it still on the UK register, registered to an address in Woodley, where Miles had their factory. Against the wall in the background is a row of Spitfire prop blades, worth a Kings Ransom! To the left is Tiger Moth G-AOEL, which is preserved at East Fortune. Scanned from an Agfa 64 slide
