DE HAVILLAND DH 88 COMET
De Havilland's famous Comet Race winner of the 1934 England to Australia Air Race.
The De Havilland DH88 was produced by De Havilland Aircraft Company to ensure that a competitive British entry would be available for the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race between England and Australia.

The race was sponsored by Australian confectionary giant Macpherson Robertson to celebrate 100th anniversary of the State of Victoria. Despite British successes in air races such as the Schneider Trophy, the UK aircraft industry did not have a suitable contender and so Geoffrey de Havilland, who was determined that the race should have a British winner, took on the challenge.
