The Ashton flew "nearly a year before the Comet"? Nonsense. It first flew about a year _after_ the DH Comet. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.62.11.223 (talk) 19:10, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

This is indeed an inaccurate article. The first Ashton flew as stated in 1950, more than a year after the first flight of the Comet. The potential confusion may arise from the Ashton's predecessor, the Tudor 8, which did in fact fly with jet engines earlier than the Comet - although calling the Tudor 8 an airline is stretching it a bit, it was little more than a flying testbed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.229.241.172 (talk) 10:55, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good points, article now revised. FWiW Bzuk (talk) 18:14, 31 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It also seems to be a copy of the Avro Canada C102 Jetliner which flew one month after the Comet. The Jetliner was the first jet airliner to fly in America. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.116.2.222 (talk) 00:53, 27 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
