EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the de Havilland DH-106 Comet CIIR / C2R of the Rae Blind Landing Experimental Unit in all its glory as it soars through the skies on final approach in 1958. The sleek and powerful aircraft, with its distinctive jet-powered engines, exudes an air of innovation and cutting-edge technology.
The experimental nature of this particular Comet is evident in its testing of blind landing capabilities, a crucial advancement in aviation at the time. As part of the Research and Development Establishment (Rae) based at Bedford Thurleigh Airfield in England, this aircraft played a pivotal role in pushing the boundaries of civil aviation.
With XV144 emblazoned on its fuselage, this DH-106 Comet stands as a testament to the collaboration between de Havilland and Hawker Siddeley - two giants in British aerospace engineering. The meticulous attention to detail can be seen in every aspect of this aircraft, from its flaps to its overall design.
As we gaze upon this historic image, we are reminded of a bygone era when test flights were filled with excitement and anticipation for what lay ahead. This print serves as a timeless reminder of the ingenuity and craftsmanship that went into creating such magnificent flying machines.
