I have been passed the details of a canopy and I can’t positively identify it…anyone else know better than me?
Code on it is DBH/VC/396, and Approx. dimensions are L 4′ x W 2′ x H 18 inches
Any help appreciated (hopefully the picture attaches ok)

Thanks for the identification guys, I would never have guessed Jet when I first saw it. The details were passed to me because it was thought to be Typhoon…I knew it wasn’t but thought it may have been slightly later piston engined and possible late mark Spitfire. I have no history behind it but I am trying to find out more details.
Being a non-ejection seat model would this have made it a very early Vampire? I would have thought ejections seats were almost standard fit at that time…
Hi Dave,
Do you have a photo showing the front “arch”.
If it has a flat-top section, with sloped sides it will be vampire F3 and FB5, of Venom FB1. If it has a curved arch, it is not Vampire/Venom.
