i live near hatfield where the plane was made, the uni there has the de havilland campus, theres a ramada hotel called the comet and my neighbor used to be an engineer working on it!
I really love Comets. I used to see them long time ago. They are, (together wuth Boeings, TU-104s, Caravelles, etc....), the creations of BRAINS, HEARTHS, and EYES, that's why they differs from one another. Now, an untrained eye has difficulties when watching the twin engined airliners. Long live the classic airliners !!!!!

The comet seems to have a stylish and modern designed wings to me since the jet engines are built-in.
Even if it is the oldest airliner, the first built-in design in the wings seem much more attractive to me but produces less power than modern one.
I was student in design(in school) and in I am a student pilot, that's why i think in this way.

cheers!

@kloakovalimonada Nowadays Comets look so primitive, but were the forerunners to modern air travel. The oldest aircraft ive been on was a TU-154M :)

@deedee5110341 Tu-154M isn't *that* old. It first flew in 1982. There's 757s and 767s older than that.
