EDITORS COMMENTS
Miles M.38 Messenger 4A G-AJDF: A Post-War Aviation Icon at Newcastle in 1963 This evocative black-and-white photograph captures the Miles M.38 Messenger 4A G-AJDF as it gracefully taxis on the tarmac at Newcastle Airport in 1963. Originally built as RH370 by Miles (Northern Ireland) Ltd. at Newtownards for the Royal Air Force (RAF) during World War II, this aircraft was one of many military planes that were civilianised in the post-war era. The Miles M.38 Messenger, a versatile and popular design, was initially produced for the RAF as a trainer and communications aircraft. Its distinctive features, such as the large wing area and streamlined fuselage, made it an ideal choice for both military and civilian applications. As G-AJDF, the aircraft was registered to a private owner and transitioned into the civilian aviation sector. In this image, we see it proudly displayed at Newcastle Airport, a testament to the enduring appeal and adaptability of this aviation icon. The Miles M.38 Messenger 4A G-AJDF represents an important chapter in the history of both military and civilian aviation. Its transformation from a wartime workhorse to a cherished civilian aircraft underscores the resilience and versatility of aviation technology and the enduring allure of flight.
