Apparently the only one left in the world that still flies.
I love its unique design.
Still has all the moves as it does a barrel roll.
Makes a whistling sound as it flies

You're right, it's an unique looking plane. It looks very eloquent in the head on shot. Great job.
That is pretty COOL @ngos as a child in the 1960's I used to love building model airplanes and then hanging them from my bedroom ceiling. Kids do that kind of stuff........
SO COOL MAN! IT´S A CLASSIC
@ngos, I think this de havilland dh.110 vampire ?
that is correct
Thanks for showing us something so rare and unique. I hadn't seen one before but my husband looked and recognized it right away. Even he said upvote lol.
THis is COOL JET! wish could fly in it :)
gotta love those old jets from before everything was designed by computer.
Thanks for this great set of photos @ngos!
The de Havilland Vampire was a revolutionary aircraft for its time, not just because of the jet engine but also the twin-boom tail. Its design was a bit too clever, in fact, and it missed action in World War 2; the only Allied jet aircraft to see combat was the Gloster Meteor, a reliable but much less sophisticated design.
Although they were both wartime designs rushed into production, the Vampire and Meteor both saw significant postwar deployment. They even faced off in combat; during the Israeli-Egyptian conflicts of the 1950s Egyptian-operated Vampires routinely went toe-to-toe with Israeli-operated Meteors. These early skirmishes also contributed to the "speed kills" doctrine of jet fighter design. The slower but more maneuverable Vampire never fared well against the faster but clumsier Meteor.
