EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and elegant design of the Miles M.38 Messenger 2A (G-AJFC, msn 6349) during the 1950s. The Miles M.38 Messenger 2A, a two-seat light transport aircraft, was a popular choice among private pilots and flying clubs due to its versatility and affordability. With its distinctive wing design and streamlined fuselage, this aircraft was a true marvel of aeronautical engineering during the post-war era. The image captures the Miles M.38 Messenger 2A as it prepares for takeoff, with the pilot and passenger seated in the open cockpit, both wearing aviator helmets and goggles. The runway stretches out behind them, the tires of the aircraft's wheels leaving distinct marks in the grass as they gain speed. The sky above is clear and blue, with only a few wispy clouds to be seen. The Miles M.38 Messenger 2A was a favorite among pilots for its ease of handling and ability to take off and land on short strips. Its versatility also made it an ideal choice for aerial photography and survey work. This photograph is a testament to the enduring appeal of general aviation and the thrill of flight during the 1950s.
