John Walton, e-mail, 25.11.2021 17:10 I regret that there is an error on this otherwise excellent and enjoyable website. The 'Facts and Figures' has 3 comments. I cannot comment on the 3rd but the first two do not refer to this aircraft but the post-WWII Comet jet passenger aircraft that had such tragic crashes following metal fatigue failures as described in the comments.

Alan Filby, e-mail, 18.12.2010 11:11 Does anyone know what happened to the replica DH 88 being built by George Lemay during the 1990's in Alberta Canada? When I last saw it construction was well advanced and George had a couple of men helping him with the project. At that time George also had a Beech D17, DH Dove, and a DH Rapide along with various other light aircraft in his hangars.

John King, e-mail, 02.01.2010 03:19 I am trying to get a photograph of the Comet's instrument panel so that I can make a reasonably accurate replica for the 1/6th scale model I am currently building.
Can anyone help with this?

Bruce, e-mail, 05.11.2008 05:04 I have researched one of the co-winners of the 1934 Melbourne Centenary Air Race Tom Campbell Black, he with C.W.A. Scott won the race in "Grosvenor House" G-ACSS. I found it to be an amazing era. I set up a web site to commemorate the men and machines. I am sure you will enjoy a visit. www.tomcampbellblack.150m.com
