    There were some more applicable ‘Comrods’ out there, the last of the Comets were converted to Nimrods on the production line (I think) hence the prototypes having a full compliment of windows. Incidently, Franboroughs old Comet 4 XV814 which became XS235’s spares ship at the end of her life before being sadly broken up, had the Nimrods dorsal fin fitted.

    i had noticed that whilst trawling demobbed earlier, a great shame that she was broken up, but at least her parts went to good cause in XS235 she was a magnificent sight, especially to my grandfather who remembered seeing the water tank that they built to find out what the problem was with the airframe concerning metal fatigue, hell of a thing though 🙂

    keith thats going as my desktop background, i think the rain made it that bit extra special 🙂 you dont really get an impression of the power of these aircraft in the dry but water shifted off the pan by the engine exhaust is just fantastic 🙂 what a day every single aircraft gave me goosbumps to listen to 😀

    i think there was a 4 engined douglas aircraft in there too, one of the travelling scenes. though i have to admit it was a good action movie, the whole storyline i found extremely disappointing…

    i think the noise is caused by resonance of the air through the intakes as the engines spool up and start sucking more air in (not sure) so i would have thought that you would have to accelerate the engines through a certain range to get that beautiful jurassic park howl rather than having her engines running at a specific power setting. really dont know though lol

    with regards to holding her back…. why would you want to 😉
