EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the de Havilland DH.106 Comet 2 7610M (ex G-ALYT), the prototype Comet 2, on the quaint airfield at RAF Halton. The aircraft, with its sleek design and powerful engines, exudes a sense of speed and innovation as it sits gracefully on the grass runway.
It is hard to believe that this historic plane made its way to Halton back in May 1959, navigating through the skies with precision and grace. The date stamped on the image reads 1961, a reminder of a time when aviation was still in its golden age of exploration and discovery.
The de Havilland DH.106 Comet 2 was not just any ordinary aircraft; it represented a leap forward in aeronautical engineering and design. Its presence on the airfield at Halton must have been quite a sight for those lucky enough to witness it up close.
As we gaze upon this remarkable piece of history captured in this photo print, we are reminded of the incredible advancements made in aviation over the years. The de Havilland DH.106 Comet 2 will forever hold a special place in our hearts as an icon of progress and ingenuity in flight technology.
