The Comet tragedy unfolding. The first of three Comet 1As for UAT, F-BGSA made the first proving flight from Paris to Dakar on 27 December 1952. In the background is CF-CUM for Canadian Pacific. CF-CUM was cancelled after CF-CUN crashed at Karachi during a demonstration tour on 3 March 1953. UAT's F-BGSC was also lost before BOAC's Comet crashes caused F-BGSA and F-BGSB to be grounded in April 1954. They were eventually scrapped in 1961. Photo from: Nationaal Archief (Netherlands)

This Comet was built as a 1A and delivered to the RCAF during March 1953. This example was one of four frames that were upgraded to a 1XB standard (Sept. 57) with a reinforced fuselage structure and oval windows. During March 1964 she was wfu and subsequently broken up so that only the nose has survived at the Canada Aviation Museum.

The Comet was the world's first jet airliner but was plagued by crashes due to metal fatigue. This aircraft, the last Comet 1, was then used for tests, having the square cabin windows replaced by oval ones. She is preserved in BOAC colours although this airframe never flew for the airline.
