1961 Comet Hatfield Havilland Hawker Hs121 Past Rolled Siddeley Trident Arpa
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this historic photograph captured at Hatfield Aerodrome on 4 August 1961, the de Havilland/Hawker Siddeley DH/HS121 Trident 1C, registration G-ARPA, makes its grand debut. This momentous occasion marks the roll-out of the first Trident 1C for British European Airways (BEA), a significant milestone in aviation history. The Trident 1C, a twin-engine, long-range airliner, was a successor to the de Havilland Comet, which revolutionized air travel with its jet engines and pressurized cabin. In this image, the new Trident can be seen rolling past its esteemed predecessor, a Comet 4B, also in BEA livery. The Comet 4B, with its distinctive curved windows, symbolized the dawn of the jet age and set the standard for modern aircraft design. The Trident 1C represented a significant leap forward in aviation technology, offering increased capacity, range, and efficiency compared to its predecessor. Its sleek design and advanced features, such as a T-tail and winglets, made it a formidable competitor in the jet transport market. This photograph captures a pivotal moment in aviation history, as the first Trident 1C rolls out, signaling the future of air travel and the continued innovation of aircraft design. The de Havilland Comet 4B, a testament to the past, looks on as the new generation takes its place in the spotlight.
