Last of the Comets.

Now at the Boscombe Down Aviation Collection, Old Sarum airfield, Wilts.
The last surviving de-Havilland Comet , well some it anyway. The 32ft nose section stood as gate guardian RAF Lynham for 25 years, until the base closed last year. Sagittarius will be refurbished by volunteers here, and become gate guardian at the other end of the collection. The C2,XK699 was in its flying days part of 216 Squadron RAF
