Former BOAC Comet G-APDT was leased to Mexicana in 1965. First registered XA-POW, it was re-registered XA-NAB in 1967. Returned to BOAC in December 1969, the aircraft was used for BOAC Apprentice Training painted as G-APDT. Later re-painted in British Airways colors, it was donated to the airport for fire training. From Peter's collection.

This was the 30th Comet built, having been ordered as G-AMXH for BOAC. When that order was cancelled, the fuselage was strengthened and the aircraft taken over by the RAF in 1956 as a C.Mk.2 with 216 sqn. It was later modified for radio signals duties as a Mk.2R, at Hatfield and by Marshall's of Cambridge, going on to fly ELINT flights along the borders of the Warsaw Pact until superceded by Nimrod R.1s. The plane was retired to IWM Duxford in 1975 with 8,236 flying hours in over 3,200 flights but due to excessive corrosion, it was dismantled in 1992 and the nose donated to the DHAHC.
