EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Miles M.100 Student G-APLK (msn 100/1008), an iconic aeronautical marvel from the early 1960s. The Miles M.100, also known as the Miles Mk.1, was a two-seat, high-wing monoplane designed primarily for training student pilots. The sleek and aerodynamic design of this aircraft was a testament to the innovative engineering of the time. Miles Aircraft Limited, the British company behind this aviation masterpiece, produced the Miles M.100 between 1959 and 1961. This particular aircraft, registered as G-APLK, is seen here in its pristine condition, ready for takeoff. The plane's distinctive features include its large, round cockpit canopy, which offered excellent visibility for the pilot and instructor, and its retractable landing gear. The Miles M.100 was a favorite among flying schools due to its ease of handling, stability, and robustness. It was an essential tool in the training of a new generation of pilots, many of whom went on to fly for various civilian and military organizations around the world. This photograph captures a moment in time when aviation history was being made, as the Miles M.100 paved the way for the next era of flight training. This evocative image, taken circa 1960, is a reminder of the thrill and excitement that comes with learning to fly and the vital role that aircraft like the Miles M.100 played in shaping the future of aviation.
