Miles ahead of its time ....
@adrianpeters2413 Yes Miles 😉
Miles was a superb company; their fall from the potentially first supersonic jet (not an air-launched rocket as in USA) the MB52, to selling ball point pens (that often flooded) in the late forties was so sad.
It is such a sweet looking comic book aircraft
Great little airplane. Looks like it would have been a very useful aircraft. Too bad the manufacturer wasn't successful. Very enjoyable and interesting video. Thank you for posting.
Yes, it was good. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks!
Just too early, in this time of expensive fuel, it seems it could be more effective.@@talesfromthehutandhangar
Excellent, we'll done and thank you.
Thanks, appreciated.
Looks like a crackerjack utility plane to me! Thanks for your videos!
Thank you 👍
What a 'cute' little airplane. Just right for dropping off equipment to oil fields.Not to mention, sneaking in military advisors and equipment in Korea.
Thank you for another well presented and interesting video.
Thank you. Appreciated.
Excellent video of an excellent plane. It's so sad that this aircraft was no longer produced. You would be the best selling man of she.
Thank you. l am so pleased people are enjoying my videos. Yes, I could sell the Aerovan! 🤣
I seem to recall that the first time I came across this aircraft was in Nevil Shute's excellent novel - Round the bend.
Love those planes…….a shame nobody makes a model…..plans would be nice . Thank you for showing .
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. There is a model kit you can make. I can't remember the make, but have a hunt on google or ebay.
Sarik has a laser cut short kit.
A really great video about a little known aircraft. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks
this is great , the miles Aerovan was also featured in a film about or shot in Africa , with some good footage of the Aerovan. have you seen this footage?
Thanks. No, l don't recall seeing any.
@@talesfromthehutandhangar Well I did see it on You Tube ... But can not seem to find it now... as I recall some quite nice footage of an Areovan in action.
If it had been available as a complement/substitute for the Horsa...
Hard to imagine that the car they show loading onto the plane is Under the 1 ton limit. (2,200 lbs)
I recall as a very young lad seeing a pair of Aerovans on a new Zealand airfield they had been trialled by the RNZAF and later operated privately one was destroyed when it was flipped by wind while parked outside a hangar neither were used for spreading fertilizer
Intresting. Thanks.
Oops my apologies both were converted by RNZAF for spreading fertilizer but only one was trialed briefly
Very interesting and cute looking practical machine. I wonder if there are plans to make them out of balsa for RC, it would for sure be an interesting project. Thx for putting this together and sharing! (just subscribed!)
Thanks appreciated! If you do a search on RUclips some have been made 😀
Perfect, aeroplane right now, but it was ready to bail out
Can you imagine such a great idea and nobody having the foresight to see how good this aircraft was. I know that this aircraft must’ve been the forerunner to the Beverly transport and the Arcos, which although had a different design at the back with a twin tail was very similar to this because it had this caravan type cabin and storage.
I think the idea was stolen from this particular aircraft and as a boy in the 60s are used to watch flying across an Argos transport fine across the countryside carrying freight I can’t help but think that they stole the idea from this aeroplane
Could you place the tech specs and details on screen? Sometimes it's not super easy to understand your voice.
Fair point l have recently started putting the details up on the screen as a pain reading them out.
You don't happen to know who holds the type certificates now do you?
Sorry no idea
