Historical Note:    The DH airframe 6477 started life as the very last Comet 4C and was subsequently converted to become the first prototype Nimrod.  Built at Chester as a Comet 4C in 1962, it was, however, not sold and remained partially completed when it was stored, pending further use.  When Hawker Siddeley developed the plans for the Nimrod, it was decided to complete XV148 as the aerodynamic prototype.
