Hi, we’re after a few parts for a single seater Vampire project. Initial list as follows:

Cockpit (some parts as shown in the photo at http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=http://aviation.watergeek.eu/images/vampire/vampire_cockpit_centre_photo.jpg&imgrefurl=http://aviation.watergeek.eu/vampire.html&h=706&w=1000&sz=174&tbnid=VC5-aBYpSxh2dM:&tbnh=97&tbnw=137&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dde%2Bhavilland%2Bvampire%2Bcockpit%26tbm%3Disch%26tbo%3Du&zoom=1&q=de+havilland+vampire+cockpit&usg=__xYGPjfkBmAIYsw5MBGwhj-Ugaho=&docid=H8syB0zmyd6p9M&sa=X&ei=7JeVUajcFqqO0AWNyYGIBA&ved=0CDkQ9QEwAw&dur=851 )

Elevator Trim Indicator

Fuel Gauge Panel and Gauges (shown between feet)

Windscreen de-mister pipe.

Seat (non-ejector type) mount and raising lever

Hydraulic handpump

Cockpit pressurisation vent valve

Mk 14 or early Mk 19 Altimeter

Pitot/Static line mount bracket for rear of BFP

Mk. XIC Oxygen Regulator

Rectangular cannon fire button for D style Dunlop stick-grip

Other parts…………..

Pneumatic air bottles

Wire bound oxygen bottles

Tail fin/tailplane bullet fairings (same as Venom I believe)

Any control cables

Set of Tailplane mount bolts

Boom rear fairings (fit to boom under each rudder)

Latches for radio compartment side doors

Vampire or Venom nose leg or seal kit. Also main and rear nosewheel doors

Engine mounts

Fuselage fuel tank

Ailerons

Flaps/speed brakes

Wheel and U/C doors

de Havilland Goblin 3 or 35 engine and jet-pipe

That’s the list to date, “big” parts anyway. Any Vampire/Venom parts (Vampire section reference is 26FC) parts would be of interest. Please drop me a line if you have anything availsble or know of any stocks of parts.

Thanks

Hi Mike, we’re now OK for oxygen bottles thanks. We do need the pneumatic air bottles, however, and an EVA valve (I think).

Between Bruce and ourselves we have healthy stock of vampire spares if we have not go tit Bruce will have and if neither of us have then you may struggle a bit.

If you sre not flying or wish to have a servicable oxygen system we can fix you
up with the correct wire bound bottles we have two or three with the end fittings
on as well straight out of a vampire. You cant use them as the necks have fractures and they wont
pass a pressure test.

Thanks Bruce, I’ll drop you an e-mail regarding popping over your way sometime soon.

I know the fuel gauge you mean – where does this go on a late single seater? Main panel or a sub-panel? I had assumed they were T.11 and Swiss single seater only.

Many thanks.

Come and have a mooch and a beer – I can do some of this from T11 stock.

You don’t need that sort of fuel gauge panel – your aircraft has a single gauge like the T11, but reads slightly lower.
