EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the SBAC Farnborough Airshow in 1958, the sleek and innovative de Havilland DH-106 Comet IIIB soars through the clear English sky, leaving a trail of condensation in its wake. The Comet IIIB, also known as the 3B model, was a groundbreaking jet-powered airliner produced by de Havilland and Hawker Siddeley in the late 1940s and 1950s. This particular aircraft is registered to British European Airways (BEA), a leading British airline of the time. The Comet's distinctive silhouette stands in stark contrast against the iconic London landmarks below: Blackfriars Bridge and St. Paul's Cathedral. The image captures the essence of the era, with the modern marvel of jet travel juxtaposed against the historic architecture of Central London. The year is 1958, and the world is on the cusp of a new age of aviation. The Comet was the world's first jet-powered passenger airliner, making its first commercial flight in 1952. Its revolutionary design, which featured a pressurized cabin, allowed for long-haul flights at high altitudes, making international travel faster and more comfortable than ever before. The Comet's advanced features, such as its swept-wing design and four Rolls-Royce Avon engines, made it a symbol of progress and innovation in the post-war era. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and ambition of the time, as well as the enduring allure of aviation. It serves as a reminder of the transformative impact that the Comet had on the world of travel and the way we connect with one another across great distances.
