Miles M.38 Messenger 2A G-AKBO made its first flight for more than 11 years at Sherburn in Elmet, North Yorkshire, on November 30, 2013, following a 2,440hr rebuild by Mike and Trisha Fenton's Hornet Aviation company. By the second week in January, the air test programme was on hold due to the prolonged bout of terrible weather encountered in the UK, and Mike had only been able to fly 'KBO on one more occasion. The historic machine, which won the King's Cup air race in 1954, will soon be painted in the Miles house colour scheme of cream with red trim.
