The Miles M.28 Mercury was a British aircraft designed to meet the need for a training and communications plane during the Second World War. It was a single-engined monoplane of wooden construction with a twin tail and a tailwheel undercarriage with retractable main units.
Development
Originally, the M.28 had been planned as a replacement for the Whitney Straight and Monarch, but this was shelved when war broke out.
In 1941, the project was revived in response to a requirement for a training and communications aircraft. The design was produced as a private venture by Ray Bournon using Miles' normal wooden construction. The resulting machine introduced several features not found on trainers: retractable undercarriage and trailing edge flaps amongst others. In the communications role, the M.28 had four seats and a range of 500 miles (800km).
The prototype first flew on 11 July 1941 and proved easy to fly, with light controls and a short landing run. Owing to Miles' heavy commitment to war-production, however, only six aircraft were built, of slightly varying specifications, the last being the Mercury 6 which first flew in early 1946. Examples of the type were operated in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, Switzerland and Australia.

557,000 Miles and Counting (She's 90; Her Car's 45; Both Are Still On The Road)
At 90 years old, this Depression-era great-grandmother from Orlando, Fla., has a lesson for all of us about surviving in a tough economy.
Shes still driving her 1964 Mercury Comet Caliente. Price back then: $3,289.
Thats less than the $4,500 the government gives to trash a car today in the cash for clunkers program.
She jokes her car has been oh-so-faithful. She's better than three husbands," Veitch said. Shes never lied to me, shes never cheated on me, and I can always depend on her.
But with nearly 600,000 miles on the odometer, the real story is in those lifetime warranties.
She paid Midas $42.23 for a lifetime muffler. Such a deal! Midas has replaced her muffler seven times.

Mercury: Exploring the Closest Planet to the Sun
This beautiful but deadly coronal mass ejection (CME) traveled at over 900 miles per second. Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun, has been studied by many spacecraft, but NASA’s MESSENGER was the first to orbit it. The images revealed a surface covered in craters and massive impact sites. MESSENGER snapped over 200,000 images before ending its mission in 2015 with an intentional crash into the planet’s surface.
