Also posted in the concurrent Vampire thread but as there has been some discussion of historic Irish AC aircraft, I thought it might also be of interest here. An ex Irish AC Vampire won the Jet Class Gold at Reno in 2015; unfortunately it was badly damaged the following year in a forced landing following a canopy failure and a subsequent engine problem; apparently the wreck is still dumped at Stead Airport.
