THE COMET STORY (1)
1949 A New Era Begins
In 1958 the Comet 4 begins the very first regularly scheduled transatlantic jet service.
westbound flights still had to refuel at Gander, Newfoundland
One year later, the DC-8 and B707 firmly captured the market due to higher speed and
significantly larger passenger capacity.
Comet 4: 76 pax at 500 MPH
B707: 176 pax at 600 MPH
Comets are eventually sold to the Royal Navy as Nimrod AEW aircraft.
