Packed with rare and unseen images and memorabilia, Comet delves into this amazing aircraft from the dark days of WW2 when it was conceived by Sir Geoffrey de Havilland, through its design and manufacture and introduction to service with BOAC amid cheering and lag waving. It covers in depth the tragic Comet crashes, the exhaustive work done on solving the crash mysteries and its successful reincarnation, both for civil airlines and for the military, as the Comet 4 and eventually the RAF’s Nimrod, the ultimate and inal variant of the Comet design.
