The Magister was a two-seat primary-training monoplane based on the Hawk Trainer. While in production it was the only monoplane in Great Britain to be approved
by the Air Ministry for ab initio instruction of RAF pilots and was used by RAF training establishments in England and overseas. Power was provided normally by a 97kW de Havilland Gipsy Major engine, although a 100kW Blackburn Cirrus Major was also fitted. A total of 1,293 was built between 1937 and 1941, some being exported.
