The British Airliner Collection’s Comet 4 - next week she will be repositioned (hence the GSE paraphernalia) alongside the collection’s Vickers VC-10, which also wears BOAC colours. Like the VC-10, she is of course militarily significant as another basis for a warbird airframe - the Nimrod. #coldwar #dehavilland #comet #royalairforce #warbirds | Daniel J Wheatcroft

The Jet Set - flight deck of the DH Comet at the de Havilland Aircraft Museum. The Comet would later see a warbird incarnation as the basis for the RAF’s Nimrod MR.1 #warbirds #coldwar #ColdWarHistory #DeHavilland #comet | Daniel J Wheatcroft
