Do any of EAA's Comets still exist anywhere?
No.
Dan-Air bought all seven of the EAA Comet 4 fleet, but only operated four of them with the other three being used for spares.
Five of them were scrapped at its Lasham base in the '70s, with one soldiering on till 1980 before meeting the same fate, and one being damaged beyond repair in a wheels-up landing at Newcastle in 1970.
