Hello Everyone,
Quick question over on Wixs there is a thread that list all of Mr.Tallichet prop aircraft, in this thread a person posted some interesting photos of the MARC compound. Now in one of the photos you can see in the background what appears to be a Vampire.
Does anyone know what and how many different English jets that Mr.Tallichet might have owned over the years.
I’ve read that he might have had two or three Hunters and up to 8 Vampires but there is no information on the net nor do the folks at MARC seem to have any information come forward.
Thank You

Not as yet – David Collins has one of the ex Canadian F3’s – I’m sure he will be along shortly!

It is certainly a Vampire. I would hazard a guess that it is one of the ex Canadian F3’s that were doing the rounds at the time. I seem to remember they were brouht into the US by a company called ‘Fliteways’. Some were sold on to other air forces. Others are still around in the US.

Thanks Bruce I wonder if this plane every received an N# a quick check of the FAA records doesn’t have any of the three company’s that David had show an vampire listed.
