Temora Museum Vampire Engine Fire In Flight Recently

[SpazSinbad]

The graphic in post 6 of the engine RPM is from the RAAF manual (a 25Mb PDF). Here is the FIRE stuff as indicated:
RAAF Flight Manual Vampire Mk.35 & 35A Dual Trainers 1960 amended 1966
Engine Fire Extinguisher
5. Ten resetting type fire detectors, located in the engine bay, provide fire warning.

6. The engine fire extinguisher, which is situated in the inner port flap bay, is operated by a shielded push button above the flight instruments on the control panel. An engine fire warning light is located on the control panel immediately below the fire extinguisher push button. When the fire warning light glows, the push button is illuminated by a red pillar light and indicates there is a fire in the engine bay. If the fire is extinguished the fire warning light will go out.

7. A press-to-test switch, located on the shroud to the right of the E2A or E2B compass, allows functional testing of the fire warning light and fuse....

...Engine Fire During Flight
5. If there is an indication of fire during flight:-
(a) Close throttle - reduce speed as quickly as possible.
(b) Close HP and LP cocks.
(c) Booster pump OFF.
(d) Pressurization - OFF.
(e) Select oxygen to EMERGENCY.
(f) Operate fire extinguisher.
(g) If warning light remains ON jettison canopy and EJECT.

6. If the warning light goes OUT the decision to abandon the aircraft or carry out a forced landing rests entirely with the pilot in command. Circumstances could arise where initially a pilot elects to remain with the aircraft until over more suitable terrain to carry out an ejection. IT IS STRONGLY RECOMMENDED THAT PILOTS CONSIDER EJECTION IN PREFERENCE TO CARRYING OUT A FORCED LANDING.

WARNING
An engine bay fire in flight can cause considerable damage to the control cables and pulleys. It is difficult for the pilot to assess the extent of damage incurred: and any attempt to do so by exercising the controls should be carried out above 10,000 feet AGL (the minimum height for out of control ejection). Under no circumstances should the controls be exercised below that height in an attempt to assess the damage. After an engine bay fire, pilots should remain alert to sudden loss of control particularly if below 10,000 feet AGL. Pilots who elect to carry out a forced landing do so at the risk of loss of control at a critical stage of flight, and thus may reduce the chances of ejection."
