Brilliant pictures again - XD593/50 DH Vampire T.11, 8 FTS,RAF - now on display in Hangar 1 at Newark Air Museum.

IIRC XD593 was still in those markings when it arrived at Newark in spring 1973!

[Steve Bond]

Lovely shots! Many thanks.

[Arm Waver]

And the Chippie was registered G-BZDU but has since been sold to the USA according to G-INFO

Loving these collections. Thank you for taking the time to share them

[Sky High]

[kodak]

Fabulous collection, lovely quality !

[bravo533]

Wonderful images - wall to wall silver paint and orange "dayglo"

Whirlwind HAS7 XK907: The 'nose' survives in open store at Midland A.M. The plan was to create an internal exhibit to mount a locally-produced Alvis Leonides engine.

The machine has relevance as it was, for some years, part of the Alvis 'fleet' based at Baginton used for Leonides testing/development.

Another superb set of images.

I've found one more shot of the T-39A, pity the dayglo doesn't show in monochrome:
