I was talking of 'big jets' in general ie not single or twin engined fighters but bombers/airliners.
Lets face it, the B45 was more 'Comet' like and it flew before the B47 on 17 Mar 1947.

At the risk of being accused of thread drift, how was the talk?

PS I'm going to be in London this weekend. Friday to Tuesday. Anything aeronautical happening that I could take in?
