It had its wings, tail and fin removed to take a 12-mile road journey to Salford
A lost Greater Manchester "gimmick" saw a former RAF plane transformed into a restaurant with a 'cockpit' cocktail lounge.
Sven Evans, the eldest of George Evan's children, grew up in Halewood, Merseyside and said he remembers the Comet as a young boy. Sven, 60, told the MEN: "They wanted to expand and make it a whole attraction. "The RAF crew will dismantle the wings, tail and fin and it will be carted by road to the Ship Canal two miles from Manchester centre. Then it will be reassembled and converted to seat about 50 diners."
"But the service and food have to be good. We couldn't survive on a gimmick with nothing to back it up."
