	De Havilland Vampire FB Mk. 5 Review by Steven Eisenman (Classic Airframes 1/48)
		While the Wyvern’s were quite basic, the Vampire’s are beautifully detailed.
		But, while the Vampire was a British product, in its various forms it served in air forces around the world; from Latin American air forces, to Denmark, Iraq and even Japan.
		Given the number of Vampire variants that theoretically could be issued, one could amass quite a collection of Vampires, each with a different set of national markings.

		De Havilland konnte sich 1921 mit Ronald Eric Bishop einen außerordentlich talentierten Konstrukteur sichern, der maßgeblich für die Erfolge der Firma verantwortlich zeichnete.
		Da de Havilland mit den bestehenden Flugmotoren unzufrieden war, begann die Firma selbst auf Basis französischer Modelle und unter Verantwortung von Frank Halford mit der Produktion von Flugmotoren.
		Man konzentrierte sich daraufhin bei de Havilland auf den Passagierflugzeugbau und brachte mit der Comet auch das erste wirtschaftlich erfolgreiche Düsenpassagierflugzeug auf den Markt, das seinen Erstflug 1949 absolvierte und ab 1952 in den Liniendienst ging.

		The De Havilland Vampire, Venom, & Sea Vixen
		The Vampire proved very successful in the immediate postwar period, becoming one of the more important first-generation jet fighters.

	De Havilland Vampires, North East Aircraft Museum (Britain)
		The Vampire (originally known as the Spider Crab) was built around the De Havilland H1 turbojet designed by Frank Halford.
		Sea Vampires appeared in 1947, and it was first used as a carrier-borne aircraft in 1948.
		The words :"We have re-designed the Vampire, you know", were followed by the unfurling of drawings and data which, as I remember, were received by the establishment with absolute horror for rocking the boat at the wrong time.

	Vampire, de Havilland
		The de Havilland Vampire, or DH.100, was the second jet engined aircraft commissioned by the Royal Air Force during WW II, although it never saw combat.
		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.

	De Havilland Vampire T 11 WZ550
		In May 1949 Vampires were the first jet fighters to enter service with the Middle East Air Force, and they were likewise the first jet fighters to join a squadron of the Far East Air Force in December 1950.
		Boobby Oxspring (On 1 July 1948 he had led six Vampires for the first ever jet crossing of the Atlantic) assumed command of 73 Squadron and in September 1949 had the dubious honour of leading a squadron visit to Italy, when an entire formation of Vampires was lost near Milan.
		With the experience gained from their single-seat Sea Vampires and from the success of the Vampire T.11s as advanced trainers with the Royal Air Force, the Royal Navy were keen to obtain their own version of the de Havilland two-seaters.

	The DH. Vampire FB.9 In Rhodesian service
		The Vampire has been a favourite with modellers for decades since it became the first jet aircraft operated by a very large number of air forces around the world and remained in service for a very long time.
		In its construction the Vampire drew on De Havillands extensive experience with using molded plywood for aircraft construction which made it a bit of an anachronism and it can be considered to be the final fling of composite wood/metal construction in high performance military aircraft.
		But returning to the Vampire FB.9, it eventually took second place to the Hawker Hunter FGA.9 when twelve examples of the latter were acquired by the RRAF in 1962-3 and reequipped No. 1 Squadron.

	D.H.100 Vampire (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Vampire was of a unique twin-boom design - the fuselage connected to the rest of the craft by a single wing element.
		De Havilland would be the first aircraft company to begin a jet-powered airframe design from scratch in just a short 16 months of design and testing.
		The Vampire was piloted by one crewman that sat in the fuselage tub along with the single powerplant.

		The design chosen was similar to the American P.38, in the Vampires case the power unit was installed within the main fuselage near to the near to the rear and between the wings.
		Next and the last variant on from the Vampire family was the trainer the T.MK.11 probably the most well know to enthusiasts today as it can still be seen at air shows throughout the UK and Europe.
		A total of 3,269 Vampire types were built between six plants in the UK and over 1,000 were built under licence to overseas customers serving some 30 countries.
