MARATHON
The Marathon was designed
by the Miles Aircraft
Company to meet the requirements of the Brabrazon
Committee, which was formed to consider the shape
of Post-WW2 civil aviation.
The prototype first flew
in 1946, but when Miles Aircraft
had financial difficulties the project was taken over by
Handley Page (Reading) Ltd.
Although 40 examples
were eventually produced, the
aircraft was not successful. The original customer, BEA
Airlines, returned their aircraft as unsuitable. 25 examples
entered RAF service as navigation trainers, but they only
saw limited service and were retired in 1958.
