Comet and rotation
I think the Rome incident(s) involved the Comet I, didn't they?
I just found an obituary for David Davies (ARB/CAA) who insisted on Boeing increasing the fin area of the 707 before British Certification and and on having stick-pushers fitted to several T-tail airliners(Trident BAC One-Eleven, B727...) ...it records that one of his regrets was missing the tendency of the Comet I wing to stall if over-rotated.....what bearing it had on the Comet 4 and these photos of ,presumably, a full
-tank takeoff for the Atlantic,I don't know.
I think I watched this departure from the old Ground Enclosure in the Central Area
