De-Havilland Comet

The de Havilland DH.106 Comet was the world's first commercial jet airliner. Developed and manufactured by de Havilland at its Hatfield Aerodrome in Hertfordshire, United Kingdom, the Comet 1 prototype first flew in 1949. It featured an aerodynamically clean design with four de Havilland Ghost turbojet engines buried in the wing roots, a pressurised cabin, and large square windows. For the era, it offered a relatively quiet, comfortable passenger cabin and was commercially promising at its debut in 1952.

Excellent desk top model of the iconic DE-Havilland Comet. Worked in aluminium, with some minor knocks to the piece, but nothing serious, and does not detract. The aluminium, has patinated over time, but would polish up, if required.
The stand is an aluminium base, with a curved chrome plated arm, soldered to the base.
Not sure of the scale, but the dimensions are
wing span 6 1/2 "
length 5 1/2".
price includes postage to mainland UK only.
