Miles Messenger 5 G-ALAC: A Brief History of a Racing Legend This photograph showcases the Miles Messenger 5 G-ALAC in its prime, as it took to the skies during the Daily Express South Coast Air Race on 22 September 1951. With the race number 38 proudly displayed on its fuselage, this historic aircraft was piloted by P.G. Lawrence. However, the race did not end as planned for G-ALAC, as it was forced to make an unscheduled landing near Faversham, resulting in damage beyond repair. The Miles Messenger 5 G-ALAC holds a unique history, as it was once a part of the Royal Air Force (RAF) fleet, specifically RAF Messenger I RH420. After its military service, it was handed over to Blackburn & General Aircraft Ltd. for testing purposes, where it became the Messenger 5, adopting the registration G-2-1. The aircraft underwent significant modifications during its tenure with Blackburn & General Aircraft Ltd., most notably the installation of the Bombardier 702 engine. This transformation marked the birth of the Messenger 5, a new and improved version of the original Messenger I. For a brief moment in time, G-ALAC wore the Civil Aviation registration G-ALAC, making its first and only public appearance at the South Coast Air Race before the fateful day at Faversham. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of the rich history and legacy of the Miles Messenger 5 G-ALAC, a racing icon that graced the skies of England for a fleeting moment. Despite its untimely demise, its story continues to inspire aviation enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
