JD ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ VAmpire Just to add more detail to Bill's reply, it looks like an ex RAAF De Havilland DH-100 Vampire. Where and when did you spot it ? We might be able to fill in a few more gaps on its history. Certainly in a sad condition, but better than most Vampires are in at the moment. -- Cheers Dave Kearton |

Ya know, replying to your own posts is usually a sign of too much something or other, I just can't remember which .... Googled 'Valle' and found one in Arizona, which has an airport, which has a museum. http://www.planesoffame.com/aircraft.php?site=Valle They list the plane as a DeHavilland Vampire Mk III, I'm not sure that's 100% accurate for your photo, they may be referring to this example http://www.davidpride.com/Aviation/PoF_165.htm which may be an ex-Rhodesian or Zimbabwe example. -- Cheers Dave Kearton |

Thanks! I guess I sorta assumed most everyone here would know about the museum at Valle... I'll be more specific next time around. While I was there the lady up front said she did not know what the bird was. Again... thanks! JD |
