G-BEEX, Y and Z are 4C not 4B

I'd be delighted to help with this site. I used to visit Lasham very frequently in Dan Air days. Used to drive there from school in Farnham; the security guys knew us well and we were allowed to crawl through dead Comets! I have hundreds of slides. You've left a couple out of your list. I don't see the only surviving MEA 4C OD-ADT. Also, I reckon LV-AHS was G-AZLW but where is LV-AHN. Neither ever flew again. The Egyptair aircraft are shown as 4Bs, they were 4Cs. All the East Africans were 4s, I think you showed 5Y-AAA as a 4C. So many memories! I also have several constructor's plates and other bits. They even gave me an emergency exit from 9V-BAS which was still identified as G-APDA on its outside edge! When I moved to Australia I had to part with it! Cheers Andy

Thank you to everyone who built this website. It is vey nice of you to try to reunite the staff. I never worked for dan-air but I had to do some research on its planes - this covered EVERYTHING!
Have a great day,

Comet registration incorrect G-AGRM should be G-ARGM.
Also the wingless Comet at Gatwick is pictured under two different registrations.
