De Havilland Vampire T.11 by Ivan Berryman. One of the final versions of the ubiquitous De Havilland Vampire to be built was the T.11, a two-seat trainer, one example of which was XE998, shown here in the colours of No.8 Flying School at RAF Swinderby in the early 1960s. This aircraft is now preserved and on display in the Solent Sky Museum, although currently in the livery of the Swiss Air Force. |
Tribute to Lt Cdr Eric 'Winkle' Brown by Ivan Berryman. One of the most experienced and respected test pilots in history, Eric 'Winkle' Brown carried out the first landing and take off by a jet aircraft on an aircraft carrier on 3rd December 1945. This was accomplished in the second prototype De Havilland Vampire LZ551/G which had been extensively modified for the sole purpose of carrier operations. Not only was an arrester hook added, but the aircraft featured larger flaps and was fitted with the more powerful Goblin 2 engine. The first take off by a jet from an aircraft carrier is depicted here as Lt Cdr Brown lifts away from the deck of HMS Ocean on that momentous day. |
Vampire Sunset by Michael Rondot. The popular and versatile Vampire served with front line RAF fighter squadrons until 1955 and continued in use as a trainer until 1966. This edition portrays Vampire FB9s over their Lincolnshire base at sunset pulling up into a formation loop. |
