Hi Lex. Just happen to have a nice book collection.........

These are from Great Aircraft of the World, Chartwell Books, 1992. Fantastic Book.

Ps: Don't forget to use round corners for the windows.....they tend break otherwise due to stress. Caused two crashes.

All the best with the build, looking forward to it.

Hi. Haven't seen final pictures yet of built aircraft, can't wait to see.
How did your exams go. Sure you did swell.
Hoping to study city planning postgrad, holding thumbs.
Best,
Phillip

Actually, if I remember correctly, it was the Mark 1 comet that had the metal fatigue problem, something to do with the windows being square instead of round I believe

I think it was the Translucent panels in the roof for the Radar
equipment to "See" through.

Watched that show MANY times!!!
