Description
  • The supremely elegant DH88 Comet was to become one of the most famous aircraft in history.

  • It was born of de Havilland's determination to field a winning British entry in 1934's epic 12,000 mile 'MacRobertson International Air Race' from England to Australia.
  • Withinine months the de Havilland team created and tested a high-speed twin-engine wooden monoplane with exceptionally long range, designed to minimise the fuel stops en route.
  • Contributing to high cruising speed were the Comet's thin tapered wing, low frontal area, and the then innovative use of a retractable undercarriage and variable-pitch propellers.
  • Dawn on 20 October 1934 saw the 20 starters depart Raf Mildenhall in Suffolk.
  • Black Magic arrived first in Baghdad after aon-stop flight, ahead of the field.
  • Thereafter it was Grosvenor House which landed first in Melbourne to win the £10,000 Speed Race prize after 65 hours 24 minutes in the air.
  • G-Acsr arrived fourth but immediately set off for England to create an out-and-home record.
  • The achievements of the racing Comets were supplemented by remarkable long distance flights in following years, and construction of two more examples.
  • Most extraordinary were the exploits of G-Acss in the hands of Flg.Off.
  • A.E.Clouston.
  • An out-and-back London to Cape Town record was set in 1937, followed in 1938 by London to New Zealand and return – a flight of 26,450 miles in under 11 days.
  • Today this most historic of all British civil aircraft is preserved in airworthy condition at the Shuttleworth Collection in Bedfordshire, Uk.
  • This 1:72 scale replica of 'Black Magic' is decorated in the dramatic black and gold of the original and has the added feature of a retractable and extended undercarriage.
  • It proudly carries the Union Flag on either side of the tail fin with theumber 63 in gold.enthält Kleinteile,icht für Kinder unter 14 Jahren geeignet
