Fitted with a Nimrod tail fin, XW626 "Sirius" makes a stop in Prestwick Main Terminal's old Bay1, before proceeding transatlantic to Goose Bay as ASCOT5251. Originally with BOAC as G-APDS, had been bought by the Ministry of Supply and became a testbed for the ill-fated Nimrod AEW3 project, displaying at Farnborough in 1978 further modified with the bulbous radar nose."

Taken ca 1966, this Chileka scene is typical for the mid-1960s with the EAAC Comet freshly painted in the new colour scheme introduced in 1965. In the background is a Central African Airways Viscount with Air Malawi stairs in front. CAA had become an operating company for Air Malawi, Air Rhodesia, and Zambia Airways with each airline's titles applied depending on the flight.

Comets were the only jet airliners to provide scheduled international services into Essendon. After they were withdrawn in 1965, flying out of Melbourne to Europe meant a domestic flight to Sydney or another transit port. The opening of Tullamarine airport in 1970 ended this inconvenience.
