It had n]me fooled at first. It thought it was twin tails, then two
aircraft, but it's actually a Miles Messenger. Plenty of photos on
Google Images, showing the flash on the outer fins and the Union Flag on
the centre one.

Good catch - I hadn't considered that it had three tails but, now you say it,
it's clearly a Messenger.

Out of interest, I checked and found there are still 8 Messengers on the UK's
active register plus one in the land of the long white cloud. That's nearly
10% of the original production run still flying - not bad for a fairly
obscure design 60-70 years on.
