780-002 is the stuff we use, £4.60 a can at the moment. Just be aware if you do buy some that the Edel paints can be a bit tricky and the nozzles get clogged very easily. Shake really well (AT LEAST two minutes) and keep some thin wire handy.
When I started at Marshall’s back in the 70’s there was a Vampire T.11 in open store which had been acquired for the Mystery Jet project. IIRC the guy behind it scarpered with the investor’s money. (Allegedly)
Just out of interest, has the wreck been disposed of yet? Last I heard it was outside BA Engineering with the tail off but that was a while ago. I’m guessing that the cockpit will at least be saved as it could be of use, as a ground aid, perhaps.
Father had Oscar Brand’s “The Wild Blue Yonder” LP which featured all of the USAAC and USAF favourites. I must have worn it out playing it endlessly. It’s available in a four CD set.
