Actually, the wings on the DH Vampire were metal. "The DH-100 was of an
all metal construction apart from the cockpit section which was made from
ply and balsa wood as in the de Havilland Mosquito".

Boy, I hate being wrong. Thanks for the correction though. I thought it was a
wood wing, alloy fuse thing (rather like the 163) when it actually is t'other
way
round, then. With the fuse also alloy from about where the turbojet sits.

cheers
