2007 Miles M.14 Magister is a British two-seat monoplane basic trainer aircraft built by the Miles Aircraft for the Royal Air Force and Fleet Air Arm. Affectionately known as the Maggie, the Magister was based on Miles’ civilian Hawk Major and Hawk Trainer and was the first monoplane designed specifically as a trainer for the RAF. As a low-wing monoplane, it was an ideal introduction to the Spitfire and Hurricane for new pilots. Its sister design, the Miles Master was an advanced trainer also built by Phillips & Powis at Woodley.

The Miles Magister was a two-seat monoplane basic trainer aircraft designed and built by the British aircraft manufacturer Miles Aircraft. It was affectionately known as the Maggie. It was authorised to perform aerobatics. The Magister was derived from the civil Hawk Major and Hawk Trainer models. It was the first monoplane designed specifically as a trainer for the RAF. Being a low-wing monoplane, the Magister was an excellent transition aircraft for future pilots of Spitfire and Hurricane fighters.
The Magister was designed to meet the Air Ministry’s Specification T.40/36P issued in 1936 and made its first flight in March 1937. It was a cantilever wing monoplane, with open cockpits and a wooden structure covered with plywood. The central section of the wing had no dihedral and had a constant chord, while the outer sections had positive dihedral and tapered towards the wingtips. The aircraft was equipped with flaps. The initial M.14 prototype was followed by the M.14A production version, which had a taller rudder and anti-spin strakes on the rear fuselage.
Production started in October 1937 and by the start of World War II, more than 700 Magisters were in service in the RAF flying schools. Many civil Hawk Trainers were also requisitioned by the RAF and used in these schools. The production of the Magister continued until 1941, by which time 1,203 aircraft had been built by Miles and 100 aircraft produced under licence in Turkey. After the war, many Magisters were converted into civil aircraft and re-designated Hawk Trainer III. The 1950 King’s Cup Air Race, in which 8 Hawk Trainer IIIs participated, was won by E. Day in a modified cabin version at a speed of 223 km/h.
