OT: Not only did CP have Comets, the Royal Canadian Air Force had two Comets in the fleet. I remember conversations in the Officers' Mess from the old time pilots talking about the Comet coming in to RCAF Uplands (YOW) from a transat across the pond with only fumes in the fuel tanks because of strong head winds.

This is the history... of note the RCAF was the first air force to fly a jet transport.
