That definitely looks like an M.52!
In all my years I've never seen the like. It has to be more than a hundred sea miles and he brings us up on his tail. That's seamanship, Mr. Pullings. My God, that's seamanship!

Keith, that looks like the aeroplane that would have seen the UK smash the sound barrier before the USA, had the government of the day not stopped the program. Is it the Miles M.52? A typical Labour sacrifice on the alter of budget cuts. They really sold us down the river as far as military aircraft development was concerned.

I am out of time right now, so if someone else has a good "puzzle", go ahead Ok,something different... The *deleted* was a twin-engined light general-purpose aircraft suitable for civil and military use. The prototype first flew on 25 June 1955, followed by the first production aircraft on 28 April 1956.
By the spring of 1964 a total of 91 *deleted* had been built for service with 15 operators in 20 countries, including 32 *deleted* and 7 *deleted* for the RAF. The final production version was the Series 3 which could be equipped for a wide variety of duties in addition to normal passenger and freight transport roles. These included photographic survey, geophysical survey, executive transport and air ambulance (six stretchers and five sitting casualties/attendants) versions.
The general-purpose military *deleted* was operated by the RAF in troop (13), paratroop (11) and freight transport, casualty evacuation, photographic survey, supply-dropping and light bombing roles.
EV's are the Devils matchbox.

Light bombing role? Twin engines? 1956? That must be the Scottish avation 'Twin-Pin'/ twin pioneer. So slow you could probably run faster than it's takeoff speed, an ideal aeroplane for use in the jungle and austere environments. One used to fly over my house when I was a boy, you could hear it a few minutes before you saw it.. This one here!

Wouldn't mention it while folks were still guessing but this was all to easy to find via a normal Google search. I put in "The final production version was the Series 3 which could be equipped for a wide variety of duties in addition to normal passenger and freight transport roles" and went straight to this page: http://www.aviastar.org/air/england/scottish_twinpioneer.php...Now if you had rephrased the sentences completely while keeping the same meaning...
