EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and innovative de Havilland DH106 Comet 4, registration number G-APDB, as it gracefully taxis on the runway at Hatfield Aerodrome. The Comet 4, manufactured by de Havilland Aircraft Company, was a significant milestone in aviation history as it was the world's first jet-powered passenger airliner. The Comet 4, with its distinctive swept-wing design and elegant lines, represented a new era in air travel. Its introduction in the late 1950s marked the beginning of the end for propeller-driven aircraft, as jet engines offered greater speed, range, and passenger comfort. In this image, we see G-APDB of British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC) being maneuvered by ground crew members, who are dressed in smart uniforms and wearing protective helmets. The tarmac is bustling with activity, as other aircraft can be seen in the background, adding to the sense of excitement and progress. The Comet 4 was a true technological marvel of its time, and its advanced design and innovative features paved the way for the development of modern commercial aviation. This photograph captures a moment in history, as this iconic aircraft takes its place among the pioneers of jet travel.
