I am trying to locate details of the stencils that Vampire T11’s wore externally whilst in RAF service for a decal sheet I am looking to produce which features the type.
An initial request on the forum drew a bit of a blank(thank you for replying Mark V and sorry I forgot to add my thanks on the original thread).
RAF Museum have no information and neither do BAe Systems Heritage.
Can anybody help point me in the right direction please ?

The only two photos of Vampire T.11’s that I took photos of date from 1952/53 and 1955 and are attached, probably not of high enough definition to help, but passed on FWIW.
This shows T.11 WZ416 at 5 FTS (RAF Thornhill, S. Rhodesia) during a sales trip to southern Africa.
This T.11 was 41 Sqn’s trainer and I photographed it at Biggin Hill in 1955.

The information will be with de Havilland Support, who have the drawings for most of the de Havilland series.
I’ve got a copy for the NF10 somewhere, which is similar, but different.

Forgot to add them as people I have tried.
Matt emailed me back saying that they didnt have that info so their airframe coudn’t be relied on to be correct.

Martin,
It might be worth contacting IWM Duxford as they recently restored a very nice Vampire T11.

Have you tried contacting the guys who operate G-VTII?
