Historical Information about the Model

The de Havilland Vampire is one of the most famous British first-generation jet fighters, serving mainly with the Royal Air Force in the post-war era (1946–1960), as well as in the air forces of many Commonwealth and European countries. The Mk.3 and Mk.5 variants were developed in the late 1940s and early 1950s, participating in operations during the Cold War period and becoming one of the most important transitional aircraft before much more modern jet designs appeared.
