Yep just need to factor in the cost of a fuel system change as per recent MPD

Sent that to Dad (ex-605 Sqn), thought he might like it for old times sake, got the following reply:

Thanks for the offer but - I've already flown it on three occasions at Chivenor. That was sixty years ago so it must be clapped out by now!

Excellent!

[Martin the Martian]

Sadly, I suspect it is unlikely to remain in the UK, particularly in the post-Shoreham era. The other airworthy Vampire has already been sold to an operator in Jordan, and so we will probably lose another aircraft type from our skies.

Flew in it, for air experience of the visual circuit, when I was learning to be an Air Trafficker in '68 at Shawbury.

3P:ok:

Ah and I flew in it many times as a 'Looker' for Marshall's then threeputt.

[Charlotte Bailey]

Threeputt, Fokkerwokker - do you have any more stories about flying WZ507?
I've had one go in her myself. Fantastic fun. I'm currently trying to trace as many people who did it 'back in the day' as I can...

[treadigraph]

Charlotte, very sadly Fokkerwokker is no longer with us... :(

[Charlotte Bailey]

I'm sorry to hear that :'(
