Is the number built 1,393 or 1,203? Drutt 11:19, 12 June 2007 (UTC)
- 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." FWIWBzuk 13:02, 12 June 2007 (UTC).
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)
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)
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.
