Photo 27 of 94, The Amazing Comets May 2018

A rare look at the only Comet 3. G ANLO first flew in June of 1954, and accomplished the first around the world jet flight in December of 1955. Potential orders for the Comet 3 were dropped ( including Pan American), or were changed to the 4 model, so none ever flew in commercial service. This aircraft went to the RAF in 1973.
