First Vampire T.55 in the IAF

Vampire T.55 IY467 was the first Vampire Trainer into the IAF, delivered in May 1953. While latter day Vampire trainers had the clamshell canopy, the early Vampires as this one, featured the 'Bird Cage' type of canopy in which only the roof of the canopy swung open upwards. This photo was taken in the UK prior to delivery. The aircraft in the background is an RAF Trainer.
