2nd jet I got in War Thunder. Much more fun to fly than the Gloster Meteor you get to start out with when you get beyond pistons - which also pictured.

Watch this. Fast forward through all the boring, hokey bits and watch the excellent footage of Vampires and Meteors from back in the day. And keep your eyes open for a cameo by a couple of Supermarine Swifts.

I still say the Vamp is one of the sexiest early jets, but that control column is all kinds of screwed up.

For added lightness, the fuselage of the Vampire was made of layered metal and plywood. And the twin boom construction allowed for a very short tailpipe to get all the available power from the engine.
Gee, it’s almost like I write about this stuff! ;)
