Malaysia Singapore Comet 4 #2TH
This is a great view of the aircraft that became 9V BAT shown in the previous image. Delivered to BOAC as G APDC, this aircraft had an incredible history. It operated the first Trans Atlantic jet flight from London to New York on Oct. 4, 1958. It operated on lease to Qantas from 1959 - 1963 wearing Qantas titles, then operated similarly for Air Ceylon. It went to Malaysian in October 1965, continuing as Malaysia - Singapore in 1967.
"There was never a 9M ACO as shown on the aircraft. I'm assuming an error was made when it was painted in Malaysia - Singapore colors." --dc8schmidt, 04/24/18
