This Comet first flew in May 1953 and delivered to Air France. In April 1954 the Comet's Certificate of Airworthiness was revoked and the type grounded. This plane was returned to the UK in June 1956 using the registration G-AOJT and it became the back up airframe for the pressure tests carried out in a water tank at RAE Farnborough. In the end it was not required and so remained cocooned until it was acquired by the museum in 1985. This fuselage is the only surviving Comet to have the original square windows and is, therefore, extremely significant.

The cockpit section and fuselage is all that remains of this former Air France Comet. Fortunately these are well taken care of in the Hatfield museum!

This rare squared-window Comet was delivered to Air France in June 1953, but withdrawn very quickly, following the Comet disaster at Elba in Jan 1954. The aircraft became G-AOJT and ended up at RAE Farnborough for testing. Its fuselage survived, and after many years of cocooned storage, it was acquired by the museum in March 1985 and immediately trucked there, arriving on 20 Mar 1985. The Comet still carries its original Air France colours as F-BGNX. The all-silver cockpit section dates back to July 1999, when it was painted to resemble the all-silver Comet prototype G-5-1 for the 50th anniversary celebrations of the Comet's first flight.
