Thanks for posting those pics SF. This Vampire was presented to the French Air Force Museum and was in prime condition when it left. I understand that at the time the then Squadron CO wanted to fly it to France but was turned down. It later turned up in the museum shown in the pic.I was sent a picture of it parked in the open and which showed that it was deteriorating fast, then I heard that it was under cover! I now know that under cover means an "umbrella", I thought that it was in a hangar. At least it appears to have got some attention with the non standard application of dayglow and some sort of clean up. Why did they get it in the first place?
