Hi heres one for the serious Miles enthusiast /historian.Chatting to a colleague of mine he recalled as a fiftten year old boy having been a passenger in a Miles Messenger that crashed shortly after take off from Rochester.He recalls the aircraft crashed into trees they were all unhurt but the aircraft was badly damaged so presumably written offFrom his age it must have been about 40 years ago.Anyone tell me the exact date airframe and any facts??.Are there any computer databases that chronicle accidents that far back??.I remember spending several fascinating hours in the CAA library reading old AAIB reports from way back in the fifties!!.How things have moved on it !!Would be useful to be able to computer search that information.Here,s hoping.
