Not the best day for air-to-air photography!

Were you in the Dove Tom?

I saw the little Vamp go up as I was coming back from the city. It did a circuit and then the Dove came up. Been flying about with a Dak all afternoon.

I love the whistle of the Vamp, sounds top dollar.

Hi Robin,

Yeah, the camera ship was the Dove. It was all a bit of a coincidence, as the Dove happened to be doing training at the same time as the Vampire, so we met up over Draycott and took our chances with the weather, which turned out to be pants!

Tom.

The DH.115 is my favourite Vampire/Venom derivative and thats a lovely shiny example you have there, and still flying too. Great stuff

I was by the river / hotel when the Vampire did the circuit and the turn he did the 2nd time had me really excited.

I miss flying
