No, it seems that it wasn't the Comet. The Fokker F26 Phantom takes that honor, or it should have...hmmm...

Pretty cool looking bird.

Now, that is an odd duck. Never heard anything at all on this. Looks a bit like a DC=3/c-46 hybrid fuselage. Wonder what could have been?

An odd bird indeed. I’d hate to do a belly landing on that one.

Sully could have done it

This one only missed the Comet's first flight by 13 days and actually flew, Avro Canada C 102.

That's another forgotten benchmark! Thanks, John!

Thunderbirds!

Now, if only they could team-up with Steve Zodiak and Venus on Fireball XL5!
