This is the place where the majority of the warbird (aircraft that have survived military service) discussions will take place. Specialized forums may be added in the new future

I have just found this on the Chilean Museum website. Does anyone know the identities of the Vampire airframes?
Thank you in advance.

Today, you can have five copies of the Vampire that endure to this day. One was installed as gatekeeper at the base The Condors, is another monument inside Cerro Moreno, a third is in private hands in La Chimba, south of Antofagasta and finally there are two more devices, properly preserved by the MNAE where present and future generations of Chileans, most aviation enthusiasts around the world can be brought into contact with these early jets Chilean Air Force.

Mike: Thank you for the link
The airframe at La Chimba is incorrectly marked as "WZ419". Can anyone provide its real identity?
