Based on the positive experience with the Miles Hawk Trainer, which the Luftwaffe used to train reserve pilots, the Air Ministry decided in 1936 to order a variant of the Miles Hawk specifically for military pilot training.
It summarised its requirements in specification T.40/36P.
The requested model was a monoplane for the first time in the history of the RAF and also broke with the rule in force in the early 1930s that new training aircraft should be made of metal. The result of the modifications to the Miles Hawk Trainer was the Miles M.14 type, which differed mainly in a redesigned cabin, seats for the use of parachutes and a full set of instruments in both compartments for blind flight training. Instead of the hard undercarriage fairing with wide "trousers", a much tighter fairing was used and often the lower part was not attached.
The airframe was made of wood, covered with plywood
Plastic model kit
unbuilt / unpainted
Paint and glue not included
