"Spiv" wrote in message ... Unless the Comet was made of wood, then it would have been dynamite. Lots of luck pressurising a wooden fuselage or getting pax to wear pressure suits Remember that the Mosquito was used for passenger service in WWII, probably being the fastest "airliner" of the time. It was, of course, in a limited market niche.... In 1942, the US and the UK split some aircraft development with the USA concentrating on transports. This put the UK back after WW2. Despite this they still came up with the Comet, the world's first jet airliner, soon after. Which fell out of the air shortly afterwards Keith
