The Vampire flew in 1943 and, folk-lore has it, that de Havilland's C.C. Walker was to say to BOAC's Campbell-Orde that the airline could have Vampire performance, and a cruising speed 530 mph., in a civilian transport aeroplane if it was powered by turbojets.
It was unique aeroplane for de Havilland, not only in it's use of jet power in a passenger aircraft, but also because it was the first time an all metal stressed skin type of construction had been built by the company.
A de Havilland innovation - subsequently to become standard practice on all passenger turbojets - was to use compressed air taken directly off the engine's compressors for cabin pressurization but for a while this practice caused problems with engine over-heating.

de Havilland had learned that, in practice, it was not always possible to design components to be fail-safe but, wherever it was possible to do so the company adopted that approach.
In September 1959 de Havilland announced an increase in the payload weight of the Comet Mk.4 and Mk.4C from a certified 158,000lb to 162,000lb.
It was said the de Havilland had approached FALA with an offer to supply 6-8 Comet 4s at competitive prices with early delivery (although the manufacturer would not confirm that).

Dealing first with the period prior to the commencement of the scheduled passenger service on the 2nd May, 1952, the calculations made by de Havillands were criticised and it was suggested that the tests they carried out were inadequate to guard against the risk of fatigue in the cabin structure.
It is, however, to be observed that the primary object of de Havillands was to lay the foundation for extensive tests which they regarded as the soundest basis for the development of a project rather than to arrive at a precise assessment of the stress distribution at the corners of the cabin windows.
