She is almost complete internally although I have not made much progress over the past year due to a Spitfire Memorial project. XV148 remains in the dry, the flight deck can be powered up and she awaits seats to be refurbished, outside repainted and a few small items to be installed.

XV148

XV148 fuselage was scrapped at Woodford and the nose is with me. Now ‘live’ with electrics, she is gradually coming to life again and receiving lots of TLC.

Nimrod survivors

Hi, just read the Nimrod string, great reading, especially the 237 pics on the dump. I have XV148 since 1999 and spent lots of time and money on trying to bring her to life. Recently had some of the electric up and running, first time since 1982. I am always on the lookout for parts etc, if anybody can help I would appreciate this. Regards Martin (XV148)

Are you sure it was a Comet ? The only forward RAF section I can think of is the one at the DH Musuem. Very interested to find out more.

sorry guys for the out of date list as my site needs updating. The changes are that G-APMB was indeed scrapped several months ago (very sad, all gone) and XV147 (penultimate Comet) was scrapped last year in early 2003. My nose section XV148 (last Comet) is now just up the road from Lyneham in Wiltshire. To lose this Comet 2 would be crimnal as it is the only Comet 2 surviving.
