Airfix Starter Set -de Havilland Vampire T.11

Starter Set -de Havilland Vampire T.11

Aircraft information:

First entering RAF service in 1952, the De Havilland Vampire T.11 trainer was the final UK variant of Britain’s second operational jet fighter and the first advanced jet trainer to adopt a side-by-side seating configuration. Unusually, the forward section of the fuselage was constructed of plywood, adopting manufacturing techniques perfected on the famous wartime Mosquito.

As a two-seater trainer, the Vampire T11 excelled. The side by side seating ensured both pilots had good visibility. The aircraft’s inherent stability and docility also made it a relatively safe and effective platform for instruction.
