Hi there
Can any one help with the following
As you can see the sticker states Triplex. The glass part number reads 53x TK
Factory number is 1079-C and the unit is dated May 1955.
The white smudge has a code which may be DH8 or 9 OR B
Sorry its not much to go on. It came with, what I believe, is a set of armoured glass for a Vampire which comprises of a front windscreen and 2 large side panels all of which are still boxed and in pristine condition.
I assume the article below is probably for a similar aircraft as I can’t see where it would belong on a Vampire
Anyone for a challenge??

That does look “single seater”, the side panel looks “squar-er”.

Hi there
Hopefully the pictures attached will help
As you can see, the units are still in their boxes.

Perhaps Venom NF or Sea Venom, single seaters were a slightly different shape.

Would you be able to post a picture of the front windscreen please? Just to be sure it is Vampire and not another similar type.
Many thanks,

If they are single seat, then they would be; slightly!

Sorry forgot to mention that the other side panels are bigger than the one shown in the picture. More details to follw as soon as I can get them

Hi Bruce
Will PM you when I have full details. The front screen is a single version and very thick. Sorry for the scant info at present but I haven’t got the items at home with me at the moment.

T11 side window.
What do the other parts look like?
