From what I have heard the Comet was a very likeable aircraft that in a fair number of cases still had plenty of life left in it. It just became too expensive to run in comparison with newer airline aircraft, possibly a shame the Mk.5 was never built. -- Andrew B (Cheshire, England) "Heavier-than-air flying machines are impossible."
