Miles M20
CFS1 Miles M20 The Miles M20 was originally designed as an emergency fighter for production during the Battle of Britain. The idea being to use non essential tradesmen from the furniture and cabinet making trade. This wouldn’t make any demands on the overstretched aircraft industry. The prototype flew within 65 days of the first drawing being started on the 15th September 1940. The M20 was armed with eight 0.303 browning machine guns although it was possible to fit twelve. The feared shortage of fighters for the RAF never materialised so the M20 never went into production. Please enjoy a most unusual aircraft. Les Stone 2011
