    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

Pat Pattle submitted a new resource:

Miles M20 - Miles M20

Miles M20 Emergency Fighter.

An 'Emergency' fighter made to replace losses in the Battle of Britain. Designed and built in 9 weeks and 2 days for speed of production by using many Miles Master parts and the Power Egg engine assembly as fitted to the Lancaster. The first flight was on the 15th. of September 1940, it was faster than the Hurricane but slower than the Spitfire, however the tide of war had turned and as there was no longer a need for these aircraft it never went into...

Read more about this resource...
 
I've just uploaded the Miles M20 and awaiting conformation.

Original FS9 model by Ted Cooke, converted to CFS3 by me.

I've described it as a 'B' grade model as the gmax is not fully disassembled or the parts named as per CFS3 conventions. Yes I'm lazy, but I can't ever see me getting around to finishing it as there's too many other projects on the go.

Cheers,

Clive

This is an unusual one. Fixed landing gear and still faster than a Hurricane...I don't know whether to be impressed with Miles or disappointed with Hawker.
 
The weight of all the undercarriage mechanism and doors vs. the drag of the fixed gear I suppose. I don't think that the M20 as tested had any armour either.
Great visibility though!
