de Havilland Comet : 2nd prototype c1951
UK aircraft company de Havilland's Comet, the world's first commercial jet airliner. The plane shown, registered G-ALZK, was the second prototype. Note the square-shaped windows, which were to prove problematic, and the dual single-wheel landing gear.
Photo scanned from a family scrapbook.
