Comet

Mark the 50th Anniversary of the world's first jet passenger airliner by stitching our counted cross stitch kit of a de Havilland DH106 Comet 4C in BOAC colours. Pay tribute to the remarkable Group Captain John (Cat's Eyes) Cunningham, who piloted the Comet's first flight, as Chief Test Pilot for de Havilland, who died in July 2002.
