I am sure that there must be somewhere but does anyone know if there a profile etc for Vampire Colour Schemes.Or a very good book that shows variations.
We are looking at schemes for Vampire T 11,T22,T55 etc basically all the 2 seater versions for some large scale model work for a display we have been asked to do. Also what is the standard interior colour for the cockpit and in the nose bay I have seen at least three or perhaps four different variations of colour.

Same on mine (T.11)
Thats different up to now I have seen Vampire Nose bays in Silver,Cream,White and even light grey . The white/cream ones seem to have come out of service that way as all the gear is present and does not appear to have been painted round ?? I seem to remember the 35 or so airframes we had at Woodford in 1971/72 had various colours in. Most of the cockpits did seem black or very worn variations of same.

Yes, if you have seen any variation in colours, it is post service. Everything is black in the cockpit; its a veritable coal hole!
There arent many publications on the T11 as such. Look for piccies.
Incidentally Mike, I think its time all your Vampire activity went into one thread!

Fine by me I think its down to a Mod isnt it to transfer it all into one lump ???
If so to save confusion just title it ” ARG Vampires” please.
