That Vamp was one of the RCAF's F.3s, a large number of which were sold in the USA through Crown Assets. At the time of its accident in New York it belonged to the Thomson/Rubin collection of Markham, Ontario, but was operating alongside the vintage-jet group out of Batavia NY. Its remains have been stored at Markham for a number of years now. It would be interesting to see a photo of it in its earliest civilian guise...
