Hi,
Thanks for posting all this info, most of which I had never seen before. I was so fascinated by the Aerovan that I went and bought a model kit of it off eBay.

RAF Trainers
November 1939: British Royal Air Force fighter pilots stand on a runway next to a line of 'Master' planes designed for advanced training purposes, World War II, England. RAF officers stand behind the pilots. The planes were equipped with Rolls Royce engines and were officially quoted at maintaining a speed of 500 miles per hour. (View attachment 523795

I believe the inline engine version of the Master was the only other use of the Peregrine after the Westland Whirlwind.

500 mph? Maybe straight down. I'm sure that's a typo meant to be 300 mph, which is impressive for a trainer in its own right.

The in-line engine of the Miles Master Mk.1 was the Rolls Royce Kestrel.
