DH Vampire NF10.

Don’t forget though that, unlike the T.11 trainer, the seats in the NF.10 were staggered as in the Mosquito, so the Nav sat slightly further back than the pilot. (I think?!)

Mark,

Thanks. I wondered if that might be the case but it isn’t clear from any of the photos that I have so far seen.

No other internal pix in that book, I’m afraid. It does however say that 2 of this mark have been preserved: ID606 (ex-WV690) on display at the Indian Air Force Museum at IAF Palam and MM6152 (ex-SCOT, Amendola) with the Museum of Flight at Torino, Italy.
Good luck!

Thanks for your help. I’ll check and see if these have websites which might feature the aircraft.

I was looking for confirmation as the poor old Nav seemed to have no room for his legs. Must have had to sit hunched over the radar boxes.

Thank’s Papa Lima. That pretty well tallys with the photo in Warpaint.

Are there any views of the sidewalls, by any chance?

BR,

Laurie.
