“While all this frantic search after the Holy Grail of supersonic speed was going on, a Mosquito aircraft from RAE took a radio-controlled, rocket-powered model of the Miles M.52 in its bomb bay up to 36,400 feet over the Isles of Scilly, where it was dropped on 10th October 1948 and achieved a Mach number of 1.38 in level flight. This underlined what a fantastic opportunity had been missed by the earlier cancellation of the full-scale M.52. Britain could have - and should have - been the first nation to break the sound barrier in manned flight.”
