Flight and Aircraft Engineer

The Official Organ of the Royal Aero Club

Flight was the First Aeronautical Weekly journal in the world and was founded in 1909

In 1989 the author began to develop a website dedicated to the DH 106 Comet.
Over the next three years support was requested from all the leading aviation journals to use relevant material on the website. Thankfully all the major players gave their consent for specific articles to appear. As has been stated elsewhere that site ‘cometra.co.uk’ was delisted in 2007. This site is a revival of the original website but contains all of the material then published.
cometra.uk is thankful for the support given for the original website and for their continuing support.
