Why We Lost The Vietnam War

IT was a larger plane with 10 years of the Comet before it to fall back
on.
The world's first transatlantic service was by the Comet not the 707.

Wrong, the pressurised Boeing Stratocruiser and Lockheed
Constellations were running transatlantic services before either
Comet or the 707.

We are on about jets. Can't you focus for once?

The Comet IV lacked the range to fly the
Atlantic non stop and the first jet non stop service was launched
in August 1959 using the Boeing 727-320

Can't you do anything right?

On the 4th October 1958 two B.O.A.C. Comet 4s inaugurated the first regular
transatlantic jet passenger service - another first for British innovation.


Better
plane? The Nimrod, which still fly's today, is a "Comet".

I suggest you learn precision in communication, you
did not qualify your claim.

On the 4th October 1958 two B.O.A.C. Comet 4s inaugurated the first
regular
transatlantic jet passenger service - another first for British
innovation.

But not non-stop, it had to stop in Newfoundland to refuel
while the 707 made the journey non stop.

I suggest you work on your reading skills.

Which side of the Atlantic is Newfoundland?

Now now Keith. Newfoundland is on the western edge of the
Atlantic so it WAS 'transatlantic' wasn't it?...

No! Since we have to keep reminding the British
that the *Vikings*, not the British discovered New Foundland.
And when they did it, there *was no* Atlantic Ocean.

Tweren't even the Brits to be precise.
Just another itinerant Genovese snake-oil salesman.

Well, since those of us with brains don't even
ask active duty US Navy people about oceans,
it goes without saying that the last
people we people we ever ask questions
about oceans are retired US Air Force people.
The only thing we advise them is to buy a
condo somewhere in Florida, and buy three
.44 Magums. One for you, one for your
Marine wife, and one loaded one for
the people who can shoot.

Did this ocean appear afterwards?

The *Atlantic* Ocean *never* appeared.
Since it was *invented* by jerk *Mediterranean* Philosophers
who made up a mythical place called Atlantis,
populated by fire-breathing Dragons, of course.

Or as the Greeks need to remimded every two years these days.
Olympus is high, but since the Japanese make Olypmus,
rather than the Swiss, it's unlikely the British
Ski Jumping Team will win any Gold Medals this year.
So, maybe they should stick to their usual Canadian Olympic
form and practice with the Jamiacan Bobsled Team.
