Dear All
The Sywell Aviation Museum has recently purchased the cockpit section of Vampire T.11 XD599 – i dont suppose any of you could help with any photos of her – in any state – or in service?
Rumour has it she was pole mounted for a while then went to Stroud Technical College….there is a photo of her in David Watkins ‘Vampire’ book but i havent found a copy yet – can anyone help me?
All the best

Came across these – Caernarfon 1997, marked as XD599, is it the same one?

Bruce, here’s a small version of one I took at Cockpitfest last year when it was still owned by the previous owner.

Can you post some pics of her as she is now? Also, let me know if you need parts – I may be able to help, or put you in touch with someone who can.
Cheers
Bruce

Dear Moderator, please pull this if I’m breaking any copyright – scanned from David Watkins excellent book (well worth buying, as well as his companion volume on the Venom)
