Aircraft Taken at More: BEA - British European Airways Channel Islands More: Vickers 802 Viscount More: Manchester - International (Ringway) (MAN / EGCC) More: UK - England, August 1972 Remark Photographer G-AOHT (cn 168) A busy pier on a dull day at MAN with five classic types and an excellent opportunity to compare the noses of the Caravelle and Comet. It is often mentioned that Sud-Est used the Comet nose when designing the SE.210. Indeed there was co-operation leading to the noses of the first two prototypes being direct copies and those thereafter very similar including cockpit layout.
