Odd-I thought Comet 2s were built from the outset with round windows-but XK655 appears to have square ones?
Great photos by the way, keep ’em coming!

Nobody’s recently mentioned the Lyneham Comet XK699-although its cockpit of course survives with BDAC!

Now that the IWM London aircraft are out of the way I really hope that the restoration team turn their attentions to the Victor and Shackleton.
Especially the Victor, which is the last B.1 and one of only five. How good would that look restored in its 57 squadron colours!

That’s a stunning and wonderfully varied set, thanks a lot for posting. The images of the devastation at Cassino have to be seen to be believed.

Post 73 of Duxford Diary has it heading back to Lambeth, and pretty carefully wrapped up to boot.

If they really were selling it, you’d have thought they’d leave it at Duxford for potential buyers to look at.
As for paintings-surely it’s a tiny bit blinkered to pour scorn on another person’s idea of “heritage” Tony? The cultural wealth of the UK comes in many forms…!

Well, “WW2 era” is close enough for me!
This looks like a lovely restoration, and it’s a rare treat to see a warbird emerging in unusual, but historically accurate markings from a lesser-known post war air force. Well done to all concerned!

XH558 in anti-flash white would do it for me 🙂
