Re: de Havilland DH-106 Comet for X-Plane

It's not as if the Dan Air Comets were really very old, either in terms of flying hours or years in service. It's quite sad to find a Comet in a museum in Britain, because they look very beaten up, especially the interiors. I suppose the easy-wipe, moulded plastic of the Boeing 707 (and everything that followed) was so much more durable and easy to clean.
I'm very keen to see the real XA-NAR in Seattle when it's finished, because Bob Hood's team are doing everything they can to get it back to factory-fresh condition. That's how I'd like to think of them, although, I agree, I should really have a special interior for the Dan Air livery, and a cockpit with odd-sized instruments, strange-shaped blanking plates, or holes that nobody had bothered to cover at all.
