Vampire returns.

Very nice to hear that a Vampire has made it back to Weald, last one I recall being resident and flyable was the ex Swiss Air Force T.55 about 10 years ago. Sat for a couple of years on the Aces ramp. Believe it went to dH Aviation. Some time was spent fettling it for the ferry flight including engine rund which as i believe were after they had washed some of the engine with parafin produced a VERY spectacular flame, at least the guy doing the video by the tail thought so!.

All we need now is some operational Meteors back.
