547 FLIGHT, 26 April 1957 ^ITH Heron and Dove output steadily continuing,and work on Venoms, Sea Venoms and Vampire Trainers being reduced, the great de Havilland factoryat Chester is turning over increasingly to the building of Comets and Sea Vixens. At upper left are Cometfuselage skin jigs, and the adjacent picture shows con- version of Comet 2s. Particularly impressive is thescene on the left, with Herons and Doves—mostly for "Flight" photograph export—on the production line. To the left of thispicture final assembly of Sea Venoms is discernible. Immediately above is a Flight photograph showing SeaVenoms of No. 894 Squadron, Fleet Air Arm; and, below, aircraft of the same type are on final assembly.The first of the new Comets from Chester is due to fly early next summer, and the first Chester-builtSea Vixen should soon follow.
