Регистрационный номер: LV-RUJ, CC-ECB Messenger LV-RUJ c/n 6345 was registered on 7.5.48 and was almost certainly previously CC-ECB. Photographed about 1959, it was active until CofA expiry 16.5.63 and existed at San Fernando until at least 3.72.
The South American Messengers are still the subject of identification problems. However, all evidence points to LV-RUJ being 6345 as both this c/n and the correct UK CofA number are quoted in its registration documentation.Самолёты на фотографии: Miles Messenger M.38 / M.48 - Великобритания - 1942
