Yep, that is the military version. A derivative of the Comet, the Nimrod, is still flying for the RAF and Royal Navy. They’re safe enough. :-)

Airbus uses composite too. And their jumbo 800 seat passenger plan is sure to become the world's worst aviation disaster, someday... I sure as heck don't want to fly with 800 other passengers. Gravity is a b!tȼh
