EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the de Havilland DH.106 Comet 1 7610M (msn 6006), registered as G-ALYT, parked on the apron at RAF Halton airfield in 1957. The Comet 1, a pioneering jet-powered airliner produced by de Havilland, revolutionized air travel with its innovative design and ability to fly at supersonic speeds in the pressurized cabin. In this image, the Comet 1 stands proudly as an instructional airframe for apprentices at RAF Halton. The aircraft, which was previously operated by BOAC (British Overseas Airways Corporation), has been repurposed for educational purposes, providing a unique opportunity for young learners to gain hands-on experience with the intricacies of aviation technology. The Comet 1, with its distinctive swept-wing design and elegant lines, was a marvel of aeronautical engineering in its time. Its advanced features, such as pressurized cabins and jet engines, set new standards for commercial air travel and paved the way for future aircraft designs. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing a significant moment in aviation history as the Comet 1 continues to inspire and educate future generations of aviation professionals at RAF Halton airfield.
