First jet across the Atlantic?

What was the first jet to fly across the Atlantic?

Not the first scheduled flight--
Not the first airliner--
Not the first transport--
Not the first nonstop--

Just, what jet built on one side of the Atlantic was first to fly to the other side?

A couple (?) of Comet 1As flew west in 1953, but something must have preceded that.
