EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and innovative de Havilland DH106 Comet 2, registration number G-AMXD, as it gracefully takes to the skies. Manufactured by de Havilland, this aircraft was a significant milestone in aviation history, marking the dawn of the jet age. The Comet 2 was the first commercially successful jet-powered airliner, and its introduction in the late 1950s revolutionized air travel with its increased speed and comfort compared to propeller-driven aircraft. The Comet 2, operated by British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), is depicted here in all its glory, its distinctive delta-wing design and elegant lines a testament to the engineering prowess of the time. The aircraft's powerful Rolls-Royce Avon engines can be seen at the back, ready to propel the Comet 2 to cruising altitudes. The photograph captures a moment of pure flight, the Comet 2 soaring above the clouds, leaving a contrail in its wake. The image is a stunning reminder of the romance and adventure of early jet travel, an era when the skies were still a new frontier for human exploration and discovery.
