EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, the sleek lines and innovative design of the De Havilland Comet C.2 stand out against the backdrop of RAF Lyneham in 1956. The Comet, serial number XA911, is seen here in the distinctive markings of 216 Squadron, Transport Command, Royal Air Force. The De Havilland Comet was a groundbreaking aircraft in the history of aviation, being the world's first jet-powered airliner to enter commercial service. However, this image captures the Comet in its military role, which began in 1953 when the RAF took delivery of the first of 113 Comets ordered for transport duties. The Comet C.2, with its improved avionics and increased fuel capacity, was an ideal choice for the RAF's long-range transport requirements. The aircraft's advanced design, featuring a quadrijet engine configuration and a pressurized cabin, allowed it to fly at high altitudes and cruising speeds, making it a valuable asset for the transportation of personnel and cargo. In this photograph, we see the Comet C.2 taxing on the tarmac at RAF Lyneham, its powerful engines emitting plumes of smoke as it prepares for takeoff. The crew, dressed in their RAF uniforms, are visible in the cockpit, ready to navigate the skies and complete their mission. The image captures the essence of the RAF's role in the post-war era, with its focus on innovation, technology, and efficiency. The De Havilland Comet C.2 remains an iconic aircraft in the history of both the Royal Air Force and civil aviation. This photograph, taken by Charles E Brown, offers a unique glimpse into the past, showcasing the Comet's enduring legacy and the important role it played in the development of air transport.
