Comet XS235/G-CDPA based at Bruntingthorpe. The last Comet to ever fly, it flew into there in the early Nineties after many years of service at Boscombe Down testing most notably early GPS systems. The owners want to fly it again, but the CAA don't want to know without all the drawing which won't be released by the company that holds them. Also, there are three different marks of Avon engine installed!!! Ok if you are flying under a military serial but not in the civilian world of aviation apparently!

Hmmmm. I think you should research the matter a little more. Metal fatigue was a problem with earlier model Comets and was an unknown phenomenon at the time. The model 4C was as safe as any other aircraft.
Remember the entire world benefited from the work done following the extremely intense fatigue tests, most notably Boeing.
thats a bummer the company won't release the drawings!
So sleek.
Not seen a Vulcan then?
:D Yes i've seen vulcan and i know i'm one of very few people who thinks vulcan is a ugly bird.
Ah well, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I was an apprentice working on Canopus. I think that jaded me...
