So how do you tell a Vampire from a Venom?
I always thought the Venom had a shorter nose? So why does one Vampire have a short nose, one a long nose?

Bruce has covered many of the details (a lot better than I ever could) but in this case the short answer is that one is a single seater and the other a twin seat Vampire.

Well, it is bleedin’ obvious isn’t it…

Should we call this a ‘Buchon G-12’ when it has its Merlin fitted and a ‘Bf109G-12’ only when it is operating with the D-B engine?

Nice footage from the formation flight. I wonder why that rear seat was empty though, have they flown with a suitable load of ballast in the back yet?

Maybe it’s a local thing. That two-seater off the Spit’s left wingtip looks like it had a similar experience.

Give them some time and they’ll rebuild a Land Rover from that! Or will it be a replica….:cool:

Que sound of the scramble bell…..;)
