I have just received a message from Al Rubin and he has confirmed that the Vampire cockpit section belonging to Vince O'Connor is that of 17007.

Now all I need to locate Vampire T.35A A79-824 Brighton VA ,USA???

There may have been a number on the wings but it was at least a couple of yrs ago so i can't recall.

Going through my photos from when I toured the storage wing at Rockcliffe, I didnt seem to have any pictures of the wings you mention.
Heres a picture of the Vampire in the main museum instead!

Cheers!


Sorry for resurrecting a dead-thread, but I just came across picture taken at Rockcliffe where you can see the Vampire wing assemblies in the background against the wall to the right.

NZ5774 is now with the Bagotville AIr Defence Museum. It was last seen under restoration with a trade school in Montreal, but I'm not sure of its current status.

Hi folks,
Apologies for being late to the game, but is this airframe still at Bagotville?
