The finished (apart from some clocks) cockpit section looks truly magnificent and a testament to all those volunteer man-hours necessary to bring it back to such a pristine condition. Note the reg. plate (XA-NAR) visible in the centre of the control panel. This aircraft never actually flew with BOAC, rather will eventually be displayed in its true Mexicana markings at the Museum of Flight at BFI.

The first production Comet 1 (nearest) first flew on 9 January 1951. It was delivered to BOAC on 13 March 1952 and performed the world's first scheduled jet airliner flight Heathrow-Johannesburg on 2 May 1952. It crashed on 10 January 1954 after structural failure near Elba after take-off from Rome. DH's Comet 1 prototypes G-ALVG and G-ALZK (far) complete the then world-beating formation of this, the most beautiful jetliner built. Each has a slightly different fin scheme. Obtained from DH 50 years ago.

BOAC must have had a requirement to link all the countries of the empire. Its Comets passed through Sydney twice a week bound for Auckland, New Zealand, where Whenuapai airport was unable to handle 707s and DC-8s. It was a leisurely service originating in London with eight intermediate stops. BOAC also operated Comets to Melbourne-Essendon. The opening of Auckland's Mangere airport at the end of 1965 ended Comet operations to Australia. 707s flew to Auckland and Melbourne was dropped from the network. Photographer not known. Photo dated by the Petersham water tower finished in 1965.

G-ARVM is towed to the Qantas Jet Base from the new International Terminal, which was still five months from seeing its first widebody, Pan Am 747 N734PA. G-ARVM made a name for itself at White Waltham in 1977 with a spectacularly low low pass. The fuselage has been preserved at Brooklands.

Withdrawn from use in 1974 at Heathrow and scrapped. BOAC marketed the VC10 to Australians as Hushpower but those living around Sydney airport were drawn to its departures by the noise as much as its distinctive shape.

Withdrawn from use in 1974 at Heathrow and scrapped. BOAC marketed the VC10 to Australians as Hushpower but those living around Sydney airport were drawn to its departures by the noise as much as its distinctive shape.

Photo taken from the balcony of the then control tower, now demolished. The background is the Sydney suburb of Tempe. In 1968 Tempe was best known for its tip, where household garbage was dumped in old clay pits. The seagull-attracting qualities of the Tempe Tip proved dangerously incompatible with the nearby airport and dumping was restricted to rubble from building sites. The forward fuselage of G-APFJ is now preserved at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune, Scotland.
