I like to discuss things with an open mind, stating what I believe to be true but happy to be corrected by those more knowledgeable. Interesting to hear Alan Lupton's view about changing the name also being taken as an attempt to hide the fact. Good and valid point! Sometimes whatever decision you take might lead to repercussions and/or debate.
Nothing will ever persuade me that the Comet was anything less than one of the most beautiful planes ever made, a marvel of its age, a glimpse of the future and a stunning trail-blazer which left the rest of the world a decade behind, and all that from a shattered and bankrupt country, I LOVE it!
