Is the number built 1,393 or 1,203? Drutt 11:19, 12 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Neither, the actual total was 1,303 (a typo changed the "0" to a "9"). I have amended the passageto read: "Production of the Magister continued until 1941 by which time 1,203 had been built by Miles and an additional 100 were built under licence in Turkey."

Name

I just removed what looks to be a piece of unsourced folk etymology about the name "Miles Magister"; looks to me like it was added by someone unaware that "Miles" was the name of the manufacturer... --Rlandmann (talk) 03:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Irish Air Corps

The Irish Air Corps used twenty-seven, not fifteen Magisters. I don't know how many places I have seen this wrong figure mentioned.Sir smellybeard (talk) 16:12, 18 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Design and development

"The initial M.14 was followed by the definitive Miles M.14A Magister I with a taller rudder, deeper rear fuselage and, eventually, anti-spin strakes on rear fuselage." I'm not aware of any difference in the depth of the fuselage between the M.14 and the M.14A. It is mentioned in Miles Aircraft Since 1925 but other more obvious changes (such as repositioning the horizontal tailplane and a substantial decrease in rudder chord) are not mentioned. Ovčáčík and Susa do not mention an increase in depth. Removed.Sir smellybeard (talk)
