EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the sleek and innovative design of the de Havilland DH106 Comet C2, specifically the RAF Transport Command aircraft with the registration number XK695, affectionately known as Perseus. The Comet C2 was a significant advancement in aviation technology during the mid-20th century, as it was the world's first jet-powered transport aircraft to enter service. Produced by de Havilland, a renowned British aircraft manufacturer, the Comet C2 was a twin-engine, short-range transport aircraft, capable of carrying up to 32 passengers or 12 passengers and 6,000 pounds of cargo. Its distinctive curved windows and streamlined fuselage were a testament to de Havilland's commitment to pushing the boundaries of aviation design. In this image, Perseus is seen taxiing on a runway, its powerful engines emitting plumes of smoke as it prepares for takeoff. The RAF Transport Command played a crucial role in the Comet C2's development, using the aircraft for both military and civilian transport operations. With its impressive speed, range, and versatility, the Comet C2 was a valuable asset to the RAF, enabling the rapid deployment of personnel and supplies to various destinations. This photograph not only captures the raw power and elegance of the Comet C2 but also highlights the rich history of aviation innovation and the pivotal role the RAF played in shaping the future of air travel.
