Found this magazine photo on the net and just sharing Watch the movie "No Highway in the Sky" and then read the history of the Comet. The movie was released several years before the Comet came out. Spooky. As to the radio gear, CW in the '50s? I could see it as an emergency backup but then it should have been stowed out of the way. -- Jim Mueller To get my real email address, replace wrongname with dadoheadman.
