G-ANAV Comet 1

De Havilland Museum, London Colney.

 

Originally allocated G-ALZA for BOAC but instead became CF-CUM with Canadian Pacific Air Lines - delivered in August 1953. After the Comet groundings in 1954, it returned to the UK as G-ANAV and was used for unpressurised test flights as part of the investigation into the crashes of G-ALYP and G-ALYY. It was broken up in 1955 with only the nose being kept and acquired by the Science Museum.
