DH Vampire, the latest 'must-have' kitchen accessory.

When mere models and pictures are not enough,  you need a full size Vampire FB-5 in your kitchen!
 

”There’s a long way from wanting to create a kitchen built for the high life, and actually pulling it together, with an actual plane safely supported in a kitchen. So, where did we begin? A good old mood board. It was to be a period room, with ornate windows and panelling – a Georgian room set. 

Everything would have to be scaled to keep the plane looking in proportion, so the back wall was built at 10ft, before promptly being doubled in size to 20ft. Once built, the entire expanse of 12m wall was plastered, painted, and then painted again before we began adding the details. 
The kitchen was built around the plane, which was hung in place by now. Inspiration for the colour was taken from the roundels on the underside of the wing, so we chose two of our naked colours, Point Blue & Morston Sails. The centre of our Ladbrook handle, if you look very closely, is also the inverse colour (so blue is inset into the red doors).”

This was put together at West Raynham airfield, using a composite airframe of uncertain identity which has recently been put up for disposal at the end of filming for The Shepherd (adaptation of well-known flying novella) .

I can’t guess what is in the oven, but I would say it probably needs to come out!
