  De Havilland Vampire   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The Vampire began as an experimental aircraft, unlike the Gloster Meteor which was always specified as an interceptor.
Geoffrey de Havilland Jnr piloted the first test flight of prototype LZ548/G on September 30, 1943 from Hatfield, only six months behind the Meteor, the first flight having been delayed due to the need to send the sole remaining flight engine to Lockheed to replace one destroyed in ground engine runs in the prototype XP-80.
The RAF Mk.5 was altered to extend the aircraft's role from a fighter to a ground attack aircraft, the wings being clipped, strengthened and fitted with hard-points for bombs or rockets.

During the beginning of 1946, the Swedish air force ordered 70 de Havilland Vampire Mk I. The first one was delivered on 1946 June 4 to wing F 13 at Norrköping.
In 1953 30 de Havilland Vampire Trainer T 55 were delivered to the Central Flying School F 5, at Ljungbyhed.
The J 28Cs were redesignated Sk 28C-1 (as is proper for a trainer), a further 15 Vampire T 55s were delivered in 1955-56 and designated Sk 28C-2, as they had different canopies, fins and avionics.

 Airfix 1/72 de Haviland Vampire FB.5/J 28B
All fighter and fighter-bomber versions of the Vampire had the 'standard' fixed armament for the time of 4 x 20 cannons, with the fighter-bomber versions being able to carry up to 2,000 lb of bombs, or 60-pound rockets with or without a smaller bomb load.
I had a look at the first Vampire kit that I built way back when, and there was no such problem.
Given the large numbers in which the Vampire was built, the absence of any competing long-run kits is disappointing.

The Swedish personnel that maintained the Vampire and Mustang fleet left the country in May 1960; this marked the beginning of the end for the Dominican Aviation’s Golden Age.
The Dominican J-28Bs appear not to have worn the insignia of the Escuadron de Caza ever, and their serial were also applied in a much less obvious manner than this was the case with J-28As - in fl on fin.
They were flown by the Escuadron de Caza, and participated in fighting against the rebels that overthrew the civil junta, in 1965, flying from the San Isidro airbase.

Nonetheless, the plane didn't see active service until June, 1946 flying with RAF squadron number 247 under the name Vampire F.MK 1, an aircraft used mostly in an experimental role.

 Warner Bros. - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After Zanuck was succeeded by Hal B. Wallis in 1933, the studio tried for a more sophisticated style, offering melodramas (or 'women's pictures'), swashbucklers, and expensive adaptations of best-sellers, with stars like Bette Davis, Olivia de Haviland, Paul Muni, Ronald Reagan and Errol Flynn.
The gritty Warner image of the 1930s gave way to a glossier look, especially in women's pictures starring Davis, de Haviland and Joan Crawford.
In the late 1990s, Warners obtained rights to the Harry Potter novels, and released the first one in 2001 the second one in 2002 and the third one in 2004.

Perry de Haviland makes a case for thorough, relentless, and harsh "de-Ba'athification" in post-war Iraq.
Similarly the allies must not get squeamish and should make no apologies for the use of violence to expunge Ba'athist toxins from the Iraqi state and society...
Ba'athist Socialism is institutionalised civil violence and unlike communism, it could have lasted indefinitely as it fed like a vampire on the rich blood of Iraq's oil wealth.
