Where do you have a problem, then I ca help you.


I'm sure I have no problem that you can help me with.



The engineering/metallurgy side did.


Prove it.



You know too much about these sorts of
things do you?


I don't think anyone can know too much about them.

The topic is jet airliners, not prop jobs. The Comet was first.

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.

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.

Did this ocean appear afterwards?
