The Airspeed AS.36, General Aircraft GAL.32 and Percival P.20 were also proposed against specification T.1/37, but not built.
The Miles M.35 or Miles Libellula (from Libellulidae, the taxonomic name for a family of dragonflies) was a tandem wing research aircraft built by Miles Aircraft as a precursor to a proposed naval carrier fighter.
Owing to the wing's thinness and sharp leading and trailing edges somewhat resembling a razor blade, the aircraft was nicknamed the "Gillette Falcon".
The Miles M.68 was a 1947 attempt to produce a containerised freighter aircraft by the modification of the Miles Aerovan.
