51-16828 meets G-ALYP de Havilland Comet at Haneda - Tokyo.
DHC Technical Representative Bruce Best set this "meeting" up at Haneda.
There is a tragic aspect to this photograph, as G-ALYP de Havilland DH-106 Comet 1 (06003) was the ill-fated Comet that exploded over Elba on 10 January 1954, killing all 35 aboard. Link
