The last of the comets was still flying until about 10 years ago.
We’d put dodgy toys on board capable of unmentionable things.

I like that the military version was named “Nimrod”.
Nothing like giving it a dual meaning name.

Wasn’t the De Havilland Comet the first commercial jet?

Considering that they carried only 32 passengers, 8 in front first class cabin and 24 in steerage have to wonder what ticket prices were like.

Anybody else get the sense that there’s altogether too much posting in tongues lately?
