I remember watching this Comet fly at Hatfield in 1992 for the closure of De Havilland

Utterly wonderful, never seen it fly, last time I saw her she was on semi display at De Havillands hanger Leavesden Aerodrome, must be around 40 years ago - hopefully she should be grounded, too precious to risk a crash, eh

@ChelmsfordStuff Let it fly I say - and it will in 2012 with a bit of luck and some hard work by the lads at OW. After all the problems this aircraft caused the collection in its restoration it would be criminal not to fly it.

Grosvenor House (a DH88 model) was the winner of the MacRobertson race from London to Melbourne in 1934. Top speed at that time was 235 mph. Many of its design features were used in the Mosquito, DH98, one of the fastest prop planes in active service ever.
The Schneider trophy was won for Britain by the Supermarine S6B in 1931 at a speed of 379 mph. A short distance racer. It was designed by R J Mitchell, who also designed the Spitfire.

Wonderful. It won Britain permanent possession of the Schneider Trophy for speed. Its engine & other design features were the forerunner of the Spitfire & Mosquito.
