Historical Note:

Historical:

The de Havilland DH.88 Comet was a twin-engined British aircraft designed for the 1934 MacRobertson Air Race. Three examples took part in the race and one of them won it. The type set many aviation records during the race and afterwards, as a pioneer mail plane. The modern features and clean lines of the DH.88, especially in the striking colours of Grosvenor House, the race winner, make it a true design classic.

Airventure 2009: de Havilland DH.88 Comet Racer (03:35)

In this video you see one of the evening flights performed by the present de Havilland DH.88 Comet Racer replica that attended EAA Airventure 2009. I apologize for the Pitcairn engine noise in the background of the first pass (although...I think it sounds awesome), and I also apologize for the bit of shaking in this video. I was trying not to fall out of the back of the golf cart while panning. Enjoy! Filmed with a Canon HV30 camcorder.
