DH 88 COMET

Does anybody know the differences between Comet “Grosvenor House” & Comet “Boomerang”.Also Boomerang was originally to be called Firbeck-was this ever applied?

There were apparently, subtle differences between all five aircraft. I dont know the details off hand.

Unsure of any differences to G-ACSS.

But according to the ref’s I have Boomerang only wore that name, in fact I cant find any mention of the name Firbeck. Maybe not surprising when you consider that she only had an active life of two months and approx 60 flying hours.

The name Boomerang was chosen in the hope that the aircraft would always come back.
