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.

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.
