Miles M.14A Magister G-ALFE MSN 2239: Built for the RAF as Magister V1086. Struck off charge and first civil registered 22.10.48 to Short Brothers & Harland Ltd., Rochester, Kent. Sold on and re-registered six times between 1.11.49 and 22.12.55.
Seventh and last owner was John Anthony Stuart Crawford of HMS Daedalus, RNAS Lee-on-Solent, Hampshire. But it was at HMS Peregrine, RNAS Ford, Arundel, West Sussex, on an unknown date in February 1956 that it met its end in a crash. Peter Amos is of no help on this crash. 'Miles Aircraft - The Wartime Years' tells no more than I know already, namely that G-ALFE crashed at Ford in February 1956, that its remains were transferred to Portsmouth and that they were scrapped there in 1957
Registration G-ALFE cancelled 10.3.56 as "Withdrawn From Use".
