De lightingly delightful

The Aeroplane & Armament Experimental Establishment's lovely De Havilland Comet 4C, XS235 'Canopus' performing her very last display at the 1994 Royal International Air Tattoo

 

Delivered new to the MoD, '235' spent her 'military' service as a Navigation and Radio Division trials aircraft

 

Following her retirement she was delivered to Bruntingthorpe where she still resides. Registered as G-CPDA, she's kept active there, making fast-taxi runs on their 'Cold War jets' days

 

If you get the chance, it's always worth going to see her and the others that perform there a couple of times each year
