RAF de Havilland Comet R.2 XK695 – Genuine Aircraft Freight Bay Liner square

Own an authentic piece of British aviation history from RAF de Havilland Comet R.2 XK695.
This unique collectible has been carefully cut from an original freight bay lining panel recovered from RAF de Havilland Comet R.2 XK695, a historic British military aircraft that served with No. 51 Squadron RAF in an electronic reconnaissance role.
Originally built as a Comet C.2, XK695 was subsequently converted for specialist RAF reconnaissance duties. Following retirement, the aircraft was preserved at the Imperial War Museum Duxford before being dismantled in 1992.
The original freight bay lining was saved during the aircraft’s dismantling and subsequently obtained through Duxford Aviation Society, following a charitable donation in support of its aviation preservation work.
Each piece represents a tangible connection to this remarkable aircraft and its operational history.

A Genuine Piece of Aviation History
Each square is cut from the original aircraft lining, meaning no two pieces will be exactly alike.
Please note: Product photographs are for illustrative purposes only. As this material is decades old and was genuinely used aboard an operational aircraft, each piece will display its own unique characteristics. Scratches, marks, discolouration, surface wear, minor distortion and other age-related imperfections are to be expected.
These characteristics are part of the material’s authentic history and are not considered defects.
Every piece is supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity, making it an ideal addition to an aviation memorabilia collection or a thoughtful gift for enthusiasts of British aviation, the RAF and the iconic de Havilland Comet.
