Airfix Model Airplane Kit - de Havilland Vampire T.11, 1:72 Scale WW2 Military Aircraft for Adults & Kids

The De Havilland Vampire was the second jet fighter to enter RAF service, coming after the Gloster Meteor. Featuring a twin boom fuselage, which was to become a common feature of De Havilland designs, the Vampire proved a capable early jet fighter. The Vampire T.11 trainer was developed from the fighter versions and served the RAF until 1967. The side by side seating ensured both pilots had good visibility. It was an excellent trainer because the the aircraft's inherent ability and docility made it relatively safe, and examples continue to fly today both in the UK and further afield.

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.
