[1] The M.3 Falcon was a clean, single engined low-wing monoplane with trousered main undercarriage and fixed tail-wheel, designed in 1934.

It was structurally similar to the earlier Miles M.2F Hawk Major family, but had side-by-side seating for two behind the pilot in a glazed cockpit.

It had a wider fuselage than the prototype to improve passenger comfort and revised glazing with a forward sloping windscreen.

The prototype was fitted with extra fuel tanks and entered into the MacRobertson Race from England to Australia in October 1934.

[2] Pre war, three Falcon Sixes appeared in RAF garb at the Royal Aircraft Establishment (RAE) for trials of a variety of wings and aerodynamic innovations.
