Al Mahatta Comet
Thanks, forget. Good to see the museum is still active. Is that Taj or Mahesh standing in front of the Comet?
This is one of the reconnaissance R2 versions operated by 51 Sqd at Wyton, and retired to Strathallan in 1974, where it landed on their grass runway and broke the undercarriage. It was finally broken up in 1984, and the nose went to the Gatwick viewing gallery, where it was until at least 2004.
I shall try to find out how the Sharjah museum got hold of it!
