May have been mentioned before but do the front side windows differ in size ? The left side looks larger (better visibility for the instructor ?) Need a Vampire expert to confirm as unable to measure full size aircraft.

Guys, You are going to have a good laugh ,I am building the excellent Airfix T.11 kit and was wondering about the window sizes ,but thank you as i did not realise both side windows could be opened.

Both quarterlights fold open as DV windows on the T.11.
I was wondering at first if T-21 may have had a T.11 and an NF.10 pane as the latter didn’t have the opening quarterlights.

doesnt one of the T.11 quarterlights move as a DV panel though?

Plenty of Vampires at Newquay now (CAF) … … …
Only One Vampire (ex Swiss T.55) the other twin boomers involved are Venoms. The Vampire, one airworthy Venom and a further pod are at Newquay. The collection’s other flyable Venom is presently at N.W. 🙂

No, they are the same size. NF10 had an asymmetric windscreen, but T11 is all nice and square.
