Регистрационный номер: G-AKKM G-AKKM c/n 6379 (6714 ???), seen at Wolverhampton in the late summer of 1957 after a change of ownership brought it there.

Регистрационный номер: G-AKIM [2] G-AKIM seen flying from Fairoaks 4.62 when owned by racing driver Innes Ireland. In this view with the projecting flaps hidden, in spite of the three fins and rudders the Messenger looks a clean and attractive design. The rounded shape of the windscreen on the blown front canopy fitted to late production Messengers also shows well.

Регистрационный номер: G-AJYZ [3], EI-AGU [3] Later in the sixties at Elstree. G-AJYZ has a long underside exhaust with a silencer, the latter no doubt a conscientious response to public complaints in the daily press about aircraft noise as cockpit noise was low.
