EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, we witness the engine installation process of the de Havilland Gipsy Six powerplant into the Phillips & Powis T.1/37 trainer prototype, a significant moment in aviation history that took place in 1938. The de Havilland Gipsy Six engine, a 220 horsepower air-cooled, six-cylinder engine, was a popular choice for light aircraft during the pre-World War II era. The installation of this engine into the Miles M.15, a two-seat, single-engine trainer designed by Frederick Miles, marked an essential step in the development of this innovative aircraft. The Miles M.15, also known as the Phillips & Powis T.1/37, was a groundbreaking design that featured a cantilever wing, a retractable landing gear, and an enclosed cockpit. The engine installation process was a meticulous and complex procedure, requiring precision and expertise from the engineering team. In this photograph, we can see the engine being carefully maneuvered into position, with the propeller already attached. The engine mounts and other supporting structures are visible, as well as various tools and equipment used during the installation process. The successful installation of the de Havilland Gipsy Six engine into the Phillips & Powis T.1/37 prototype was a crucial milestone in the development of this advanced trainer aircraft. This photograph offers a fascinating glimpse into the inner workings of aviation engineering during the late 1930s, showcasing the skill and dedication required to bring innovative aircraft designs to life.
