Dear Mr Goon
Please get a grip on the chronology:
"No Highway" was first published in 1948 by William Heineman, London.
I cannot remember when the DH106 was named Comet, but it was first revealed to the public in 1949. Norway would probably have known the name before that, but so what? The Rutland Reindeer was more Bristol Brabazon than anything else and the alliterative name was typical of the period.
The first Comet disaster was 1954.
