Seeing that BOAC Comet brings back a lot of memories for me. I used to ride my bike to the old Essendon Airport, which was Melbourne’s No1 airport in those days, to watch the spectacular take off the BOAC Comet for London at 1 o’clock every saturday afternoon back in the fifties

Did you ever take any photo’s and if so could you post them here, I would love to see them ?

Aside from the Comet at Brunty are there anymore left that could be made airworthy again ?

Love them photos, its a real shame we don’t have a Comet flying as its one of the most important types ever built in the UK.

Sorry to hijack your thread Ren Frew but here is a photo of the Comet at Cosford.

Loads of classic jets, Hunters Gnats Sea Vixen Venom’s etc etc.

Also would have a display first by Sally B then a 2min silence followed by a display from the BBMF.

Oh and to finish I would have the Red Arrows.

Its worth pointing out that Team Orlik – Polish Air Force Academy dont use jets, they use nice turbo prop trainer’s.

Yes a B1B Lancer would be nice, but being honest I don’t think we should hold out any hope.

Nice one EN830 🙂

Your best efforts to date Andrew!

Thanks danohagan.
