In 1937 the prototype of the Miles Master was powered by a supercharged 745hp RR-Kestrel and reached 300mph - presumably at 15,000ft. A Hurricane I was barely faster.

The performance of the Gladiator(253mph) and the Fokker DXXI(285mph) with supercharged 830hp Mercuries made me wonder how an armed and armoured Master II would do.... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (MBecker01) http://warships1discussionboards.yuku.com/topic/11793 Sat, 12 Dec 2009 00:41:47 GMT <![CDATA[ Remember the Scorpion?
