Comet 1 accidents

Were cracks emanating from the ADF aperture in the Comet 1 forward roof the common cause in all the fatigue related crashes. Did the Farnborough tank specimen fail there too ,or at a different 'cut-out'. How significant was the change from rectangular windows with slightly radiused corners to fully rounded windows ? Is it correct that the RCAF Comet 1s were satisfactorily modified and how?
