The Rhonbussard had been impressed into the RAF and was being used by the Development Unit of the Central Landing Establishment, based at nearby RAF Ringway, to establish tactical procedures for future use in warfare. Here it has landed near the Macclesfield (Cheshire) railway viaduct to simulate its "capture". The glider did not survive its wartime service.

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.
