Just a curiousity really, just watched the Video for the Madness song ‘Wings of a dove’. Looks like it’s set in a Comet (although every so ofter the show a Trident in flight. Just wondered if anyone knew which it is and whose it was. Must’ve had a huge cargo hold tho that managed to have a Transit pushed out the back (that turned into an Iveco by the time it landed) Sorry that was an anorak moment hahaha

It was G-BDIT. Attached some pictures of it being scrapped in May 1984.

I hate to have to admit it but not only have I seen the video, but I saw it when it first came out!!!!!
The Comet in question was an ex Dan Air one that was at Blackbush back in the eighties. It was delivered shortly after the Comets were withdrawn by Dans. It was bought by Doug Arnold for the museum that he said he was going to building there. It was scrapped about two years after it arrived. There was an incident during this period when a young lad was run over and killed on the road that runs past the airfield. It was said that the driver was distracted by the Comet. It was moved way across the airfield after that and scrapped.
Can’t tell you the reggie and as I don’t have a slide scanner, I can’t show you my pictures of it………. Sorry! Somebody else will probably do that!
