History of the DeHavilland DH88 Comet

The original DeHavilland DH 88 'Comet' was specially designed to compete in the 1934 England to Australia

MacRobertson Air Race. Three were designed, built and tested in eight months with the first flying on the 8th

September 1934.

The all wood aircraft was powered by two special DH Gypsy Six R engines producing 230 h.p each. The

Comet was the first British aircraft with retractable landing gear, flaps and controllable propellers.

Sponsored by Australian MacPherson Robertson, the MacRobertson Air Race was the longest ever Air Race

from Mildenhall in England to Melbourne, Australia with the winner receiving 10,000 English pounds.

Piloted by Charles Scott and Tom Black, the winning aircraft GACSS (named Grosvenor House after its

sponsor, a luxury hotel in London) won the race in 70 hours and 54 minutes.
