A visitor from Russian Federation posted Thu January 8, 2009:
A real nice aircraft -even being on the ground it feels like it's going to take off every second.

A visitor from Brazil posted Wed December 17, 2008:
Very nice photo, I wish for seen a Comet live one day.

A visitor from Portugal posted Tue August 5, 2008:
An outstanding tribute to an unique aircraft that payed a misfortunate toll for being a decade in advance over its competitors! The sharpness of the picture vividly enhances the restrained and handsome design of both the aircraft and its mid-sixties BEA livery. A collector's photo!

A visitor from Cyprus posted Thu July 31, 2008:
It's rare to see such clear shots. Bravo for this 40 year old beauty !

A visitor from Portugal posted Tue July 15, 2008:
A magnificent and detail-clear glimpse of a Series IV in its handsome BEA livery. The swedish police Anglia adds an unwilling british flavour to the scene...

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Wed June 4, 2008:
Very evocative of the time. atmospheric lighting. like seeing period photos. is the comet the most beautiful aircraft ever built?

A visitor from Czech Republic posted Sat March 8, 2008:

A visitor from Canada posted Fri March 7, 2008:
A real nice looking air craft did not know that dehavilland made this aircraft

A visitor from United States posted Fri March 7, 2008:
Great Historical shot! I see the redesigned comet windows here after the explosive decompression issue was resolved. Too bad we don't see any of these flying around anymore in remote cargo ops like the 707....

A visitor from - posted Fri March 7, 2008:
Beautiful photo of a classic aircraft - it's so clear and well lit it almost looks like a movie set!

A visitor from Australia posted Sun March 2, 2008:
Still such a unique aircraft!...good photo by the way!

A visitor from United Kingdom posted Sun March 2, 2008:
Very good quality photo for 67, the flood lights add real atmosphere too. The cars are still RHD and there is a Viscount in the background!
