EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH106 Comet 2E, registration number G-AMXK, during its tenure with Smiths Instruments. The Comet 2E was a significant development in the aviation industry, being the world's first jet-powered airliner and the first commercial jet to make a profit. However, this image depicts the aircraft in a non-commercial context. The Comet 2E, manufactured by de Havilland, is seen here with the distinctive Smiths Instruments logo emblazoned on its fuselage. Smiths Instruments, a leading provider of technology and engineering solutions, utilized the Comet 2E for various purposes, likely for research and development or as a testbed for their advanced avionics and instrumentation systems. The Comet 2E, with its sleek and innovative design, revolutionized air travel with its jet engines, pressurized cabin, and advanced design features, such as a T-tail and swept-wing configuration. Its introduction in the late 1950s marked the beginning of the jet age, paving the way for modern commercial aviation. This photograph provides a unique glimpse into the history of aviation and the role that the de Havilland DH106 Comet 2E, registration number G-AMXK, played in the development of jet-powered aircraft, particularly during its time with Smiths Instruments.
