More Messenger Magnificence

As I have posted, I was out at Kaipara Flats airfield yesterday when Bruce Lynch's magnificent Miles Messenger ZK-AKE2 flew off some of its test flying hours:

With the somewhat sameness of many modern sport aircraft that are optimised for performance, it is a real privilege to see something SO different with so many quirky bits, and so many neat angles to observe..

On take off....

Overhead....

On short finals....

And over the airfield perimeter.  The sound is also quite loud with a four into one exhaust and no muffler.

This is likely to be my last post on Bruce's Messenger for a while.  If you are sick of so many photos of it maybe you CAN blame the messenger!
