Comet 4 Series Crew

[boaccomet4]

Have flown on a BOAC Comet 4 in First Class as a boy and then years later on Concorde. Would like to hear from both pilots and cabin crew of you experiences operating the Comet. Cannot find any interviews of air hostesses/stewards who operated on the Comet. Like to also know how the thrust reversers on the Comet were used.
Being a seasoned traveller in Viscounts as a boy my first experience of jet travel was the Comet 4 and the aircraft climbed like a rocket compared to the Viscount.
Hearing four Rolls Royce Avon Engines roaring away was so exciting both as a passenger and when one flew low overhead.
